Due to the appearance of a new asset in the Russian Federation — carbon units — it is necessary to develop unified approaches to its qualification from the point of view of the Civil Code. Current legislation, and in particular the Federal Law "On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions," does not specify which type of civil rights objects carbon units belong to. The authors consider the possibility of classifying carbon units, as well as other objects with a similar legal nature — quota fulfillment units — as property and property rights. The article analyzes the approaches that have developed in Russia to determining the legal nature of emission reduction units, formed within the framework of Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the positions of domestic federal executive authorities.
