According to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US Permanent Representative to the UN, the Russian delegation went against the interests of the world community, deciding to block the draft UN Security Council resolution “Climate and Security” introduced by Ireland and Niger.

In her Twitter, the American diplomat explained that only the UN Security Council is empowered to ensure that governments take into account the impact of climate change on security and begin work on conflict prevention and mitigation, peacekeeping and humanitarian assistance.

“Russia let the world down when it used its veto against a resolution supported by the majority of UN members,” she said.

In turn, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya stressed that the Russian side opposes the adoption by the UN Security Council of a resolution linking climate and security issues.

“Russia does not support the creation of a new direction of the Security Council’s work, which asserts a generic and automatic link between climate change and international security,” Nebenzya explained.

According to Russian diplomats, the adoption of such a resolution would turn into a time bomb, since any country could be included in the UN Security Council agenda, since there are climate problems everywhere.

Considering this, Russia and India vetoed this project, the Chinese side abstained.(US Permanent Representative)
