Summary:The current era is marked by global warming, mainly due to anthropogenic activities, which makes society face two major problems: on the one hand, the need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to stabilize the level of their concentration in the atmosphere in order to prevent anthropogenic influence on the climate system and to allow natural ecosystems to adapt naturally, and on the other hand the need to adapt to the effects of climate change, given that these effects are already visible and inevitable due to inertia, climate change, regardless of the outcome of emission reduction actions. Any violation of the relations between the economy and the environment generates, sooner or later, economic, social and ecological dysfunctions, with profound harmful effects on the individual and human society. The article makes connections between global warming, as a result of the greenhouse effect, the contribution of agriculture to climate change and the possibilities of sustainable development in the conditions of triggering the global climate emergency.
