Abstract
During the last decades, the issue of global climate change has taken one of the central places on the international agenda while the need to mitigate climate change has become the subject of consensus for most countries and businesses. In the meantime, climate change mitigation strategies are becoming increasingly intertwined with the plans to acquire new technological and economic comparative advantages. The world is undergoing global low-carbon transformation: dozens of countries, including the largest issuers, and thousands of companies in industries ranging from energy to retail, announce plans to achieve carbon neutrality. The course aims to provide theoretical and empirical knowledge on the integration of greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals into long-term vision of development at the level of states and individual enterprises.
