Abstract One of the most discussed problems of the civilized world of the 21st century is the global climate and the world economy, their importance and influence on the problems of ensuring the environmental safety of the entire globe. This overview article is considering the EU’s announcement of the introduction of a carbon tax on imported goods and Russia’s readiness to develop suitable (unified) methods for calculating the CO2 absorption capacity of the environment, which would be recognized by the world community, as well as the National System for accounting for greenhouse gas emissions by ecosystems (forest, steppe, tundra, farmland, bodies of water, etc.). Moreover, this article notes the importance of studying the emission and sequestration of greenhouse gases (creation of carbon landfills, farms) by different types of soils, the importance of which is characterized by the upcoming “carbon tax” on products exported outside our country.
