B.5Russian Federation system card
The card through which the Russian Federation appears in the Eurasia regional edition and the global series. It summarises; it does not rank.
| System | Baseline state | Coupling to watch | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water | abundant resource; dam safety event at Orsk | flood into infrastructure | PARTIAL |
| Energy | thermal 57.5% of power; large fossil exports | cold extremes and export shifts | GOOD |
| Food | grain harvest 141.2 Mt | heat, inputs and logistics | PARTIAL |
| Health | ageing; series narrowed | heat and smoke load | THIN |
| Biodiversity | forest on 50.8% of land | fire and thaw | PARTIAL |
Context
- Archetype
- large continental economy with boreal forest, permafrost and energy and grain exports
- Population
- 146.0 million (Rosstat preliminary, 1 January 2025)23
- Trade
- crude oil about 11% of world exports in 20239; grain harvest 141.2 Mt in 202522
- Hazard
- Kamchatka earthquake of magnitude 8.8, 29 July 202525
Russian Federation’s card sits beside its neighbours’; shared basins, grids, corridors and supply chains are read as one regional system.
EURASIA REGIONAL EDITION
One regional system
Russian evidence enters the water, energy, food, finance and climate sector reports through the same finding identifiers, so a correction travels everywhere at once.
GLOBAL SECTOR SERIES
Same findings, same IDs
In the global edition the Russian Federation is read against peer distributions and thresholds, never placed in a league table.
GLOBAL FLAGSHIP
Peers, not ranks
