Summary/Abstract: One of the basic challenges related to sustainable development is to restrain climate changes and reduce their negative impacts on the society and environment. The setback of climate changes is possible only under condition of greenhouse gases emissions reduction. The EU climate policy should contribute to this process. The paper investigates the latest EU decisions in this area. Then the Polish situation is analyzed as well as the Polish climate policy being an answer to challenges related to the transformation to low carbon economy.
