Qué funciona en Rusia

The three practices in the CONTEXT show Russia undertaking climate, social and demographic interventions with varying evidence quality. Peatland rewetting in Moscow Region documented via satellite monitoring reduced fire extent and an estimated 36,000–320,000 tCO2eq/year emissions cuts across 73,050 hectares, though these are model-based rather than direct measurements. Digital literacy training reached over 500,000 pensioners across 76 regions since 2014, but covers less than 2% of Russia's pensioner population annually and lacks independent evaluation of learning outcomes. Maternity capital grants raised long-run fertility by 0.15 children per woman (peer-reviewed evidence), but research shows the policy reinforced women's caregiver role rather than advancing workplace gender equality—illustrating how demographic success does not automatically translate to gender progress.
