Abstract

The increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere contributes to global warming and, therefore, climate change. Achieving and maintaining net zero emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases on a global scale has become the basis for shaping policies, programs and actions aimed at climate neutrality, which is conditional on achieving net zero emissions by 2050. It is imperative to take actions that will enable the absorption and reduction of CO2 emissions and will result in an improvement in the state of the environment and contribute to climate stabilization. The source of information for the study were legal acts, reports and documents of international institutions and literature on the subject. In the paper, the role of agriculture in the European Union's climate and energy policy is presented. It also shows how carbon farming can make an important contribution to mitigating climate change. The definition, practices and possibilities of reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of carbon farming activities are indicated.
