IE RAS presents Analytical papers of IE RAS No 24, 2025 «The Kensington Treaty: Green Challenges of the Anglo-German Partnership» (in Russian) by Sergey A. Roginko, Candidate of Sciences (Economics), Head of Center for Ecology and Development, Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences.
The paper examines the new trends in the Anglo-German partnership in the field of climate, as recorded in the so-called Kensington Treaty, signed on July 17, 2025. The author examines the content and nature of the partnership's objectives, analyzing their continuity with the EU's foreign climate policy. The study identified new issues, such as the attempt to dismantle and revise the existing architecture of global climate negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. The study provides recommendations on possible BRICS actions in response to emerging challenges and on Russia's position in climate diplomacy, including increasing its role and level of coordination.
