Russia considers unacceptable the adoption by the UN of a resolution that links the issues of climate change and international security. This was stated by the permanent Russian representative to the organization, Vasily Nebenzya.


"We oppose the creation of a new direction of the Council, which approves generic in nature and automatic link between climate change and international security", - quotes his words TASS.

Nebenzya stressed that this approach is unacceptable for the Russian side.

Earlier, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution Russia and the United States against the use of information resources and technologies for criminal or terrorist purposes.
