Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Droughts, floods, and extreme weather events will make parts of Russia less habitable and economically productive. This will drive economic migration, pushing rural populations into already crowded cities.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most well known feature of the Russian climate is its very cold winter, brought about by the country’s high latitudes (40-75°N), vast land mass and lack of any topographic obstructions to protect it from arctic winds sweeping across its long, north-facing and often frozen coastline.

Detailed explanation-3: -Climate zones of Russia The northern parts of the country, including Murmansk and Siberia, lie in the cold polar zone of the Arctic Ocean. Further south, large parts of the country are in the temperate climate zone and the southernmost regions near the Black Sea belong to the subtropics.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humid continental and subarctic climates dominate much of Russia and the Republics. These climates reflect the influence of the region’s high latitude and the impact of the wall of mountains in the southeast. The region’s enormous size also has a major effect on its climates.
