What beneficial effects might Russia see from climate change?
◦ Rising sea levels along the Black and Baltic Seas.
◦ Navigation may extend throughout the year in Russia's northern waterways.
◦ Thawing of Siberian permafrost may cause mud flows and erosion.
◦ Greater contact between wildlife and indigenous human populations in northern Russia as wildlife is forced to widen its search for food.
◦ Increases in rainfall across the fertile regions of western Russia.
