FWIW Russia's published targets re Green House Gases coming up to 2015
http://www4.unfccc.int/submissions/...Russia/1/Russian Submission INDC_eng_rev1.doc
The Russian Federation currently has in force legally-binding instruments aimed at providing for limitation of the GHG emissions to at most 75% of 1990 levels by the year 2020 (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 30 September 2013 and Act of the Government of the Russian Federation of 2 April 2014 No. 504-p).
These acts provide, inter alia, for organization of GHG emissions forecasting at the economy-wide scale and for each individual sector. The Russian Federation will further elaborate and adopt legislative and regulatory acts providing for achievement of the stated INDC target by 2030 based on the provisions of the Climate Doctrine and the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation.
Elsewhere in the statement they indicate the reduction of 25% to 30% of GHG below 1990 levels will depend on how well their boreal forest management works. (boreal forest or snow forest, is a biome characterized by coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces and larches)
Russia accounts for 70% of boreal forests and 25% of the world's forest resources. Rational use, protection, maintenance and forest reproduction, i.e. forest management, is one of the most important elements of the Russian policy to reduce GHG emissions.
Presumably they will also be building many more nuclear power reactors for their own use as well as exporting them.
