Abstract

The EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has a significant potential to mitigate the climate change consequences and adaptation to the results. Farmers can choose more rational weapons to manage their climate risk. The objectives of CAP become more and more important with each following programming period. In the current CAP (2014-2020), climate concerning actions are main priorities of Rural Development Programme. The article discusses the effects that the Paris Climate Change Agreement (COP21) causes to the agriculture sector and the relevant political proposal. The article investigates how the CAP is supporting the climate actions and the future policy development in 2020. Necessary action will increase the sector's efforts to minimize the contribution to gas emissions and aid pollution in the next decades. There is a need for changes in the policy tools and mechanisms for its implementation in terms of: reducing the soil carbon loss; increasing the share of organic farming; improving farmers' understanding of climate change; more efficient management of agricultural land; monitoring system optimization, etc.
