Abstract
The article discusses issues related to the transition of the oil and gas industry to a low-carbon economy. Within the framework of the scenario approach the key risks of the transition period are considered. The importance of managing climate risks for organizations in the oil and gas industry is emphasized. The prospect of including climatic risks in the general risk management system of the organization is shown. Examples of the implementation of new approaches to climate risk management and adaptation to climate change in Russia and abroad are given.
