Russia ready to cooperate with next US administration on climate change - Moscow

MOSCOW, Jan 4 (Sputnik) Russia is open to engaging in a dialogue with the next US administration over climate change, expecting a depoliticized approach from the counterparts in Washington, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told Sputnik in an interview.
Outgoing US President Donald Trump pulled the country out of several important international climate initiatives, including the 2015 Paris Agreement. President-elect Joe Biden pledged to overturn this, appointing ex-State Secretary John Kerry, who participated in the Paris Agreement's drafting, to lead US climate policies.
"We are always open to dialogue with all partners, including the United States. This also applies to the matters pertaining to environmental protection. Russia calls for keeping climate out of any political arguments. Unfortunately, the US delegation at climate talks has regularly and purposefully politicized certain technical issues, causing unnecessary confrontation. We hope that moving forward, this destructive behavior will change more constructive and pragmatic," Vershinin said.
