NO This pilot study report presents a comprehensive analysis of climate change impacts within the Russian Federation, evaluating both observed historical trends and future projections across multiple environmental and social sectors. The document serves to test a standardised template for transparently reporting country-level climate data. Methodologically, the assessment utilises long-term statistical observations, hydrological modelling, and various international climate scenarios to assign confidence and impact ratings to specific changes. Key findings highlight significant shifts in freshwater resources, including increased river runoff and heightened flood frequencies. Additionally, the scope covers critical degradations in terrestrial permafrost that threaten regional infrastructure, alongside climate-driven changes in human health risks associated with heatwaves and the expanding geographic distribution of infectious disease vectors.
