Putin's special envoy allowed the introduction of a tax on meat in Russia

The policy of accounting for the carbon footprint in the Russian Federation and other states in the future may be extended to the livestock sector and take the form of a tax on MEAT.

This opinion was voiced today, on August 4, during the project and educational intensive "Archipelago 2121" by Dmitry Peskov, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Digital and Technological Development

“We thought that a carbon tax was something far away. We were introduced a tax, and we started to think. As the temperature on the planet rises, the models will be revised towards other sources of CO2. For example, agriculture. This says that after a few years we will first begin to resent loudly, and then, perhaps, we will accept a tax on meat," Peskov said.
