Russian M&A review 2017 3 Overview Although deal activity increased by 13% in 2017, the value of Russian M&A Deal was 12% lower than the previous activity 13% year, at USD66.9 billion, mainly due to an absence of larger deals. This was in particular reflected in the oil and gas sector, which in 2016 was characterised by three large deals with a combined value exceeding USD28 billion. The good news is that investors have adjusted to the realities of sanctions and lower oil prices, and sought opportunities brought by both the economic recovery and governmental efforts to create a new industrial strategy. 2017 saw a significant rise in the number and value of deals outside the Deal more traditional extractive industries value 37% and utility sectors, which have historically driven Russian M&A. Oil and gas sector is excluded If the oil and gas sector is excluded, then the value of deals rose by 37%, from USD35.5 billion in 2016 to USD48.5 billion in 2017.

A new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will put a carbon price on imports of a targeted selection of products to ensure that ambitious climate action in Europe does not lead to "carbon leakage" More Vladimir Putin and John Kerry had a telephone conversation on climate issues Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia attaches great importance to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and stands for a depoliticized and professional dialogue in this area. Putin and Kerry exchanged their views on the prospects of bilateral environmental cooperation in the Arctic. Putin came up with a number of initiatives, including a proposal to establish Russian- American cooperation on collecting climate data using satellites. More Blockchain can help us beat climate change Smart contracts – fully traceable, transparent and irreversible self- executing contracts, running on blockchains – can contribute to the fight against climate change. They allow us to design globally accessible and fully automated incentive systems that can directly reward individuals, companies and governments for taking part in sustainable practices – such as regenerative agriculture, carbon offsets, crop insurance and more.
