Gasoline sales have been completely halted in #Russia's #Kurilsky district, #Konstantin_Istomin, the district's head, said.

Launched in 2022, Sakhalin’s climate experiment aimed to achieve carbon neutrality by the end of 2025. The program involved 35 major companies committing to a combined 2% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, along with a mix of carbon quotas, a cap-and-trade system, a shift from coal to gas for heating, expanded use of renewables and increased forest carbon absorption
