Abstract
Global climate changes are taking place and its impacts on economy are already
occurring in fields like tourism, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure, insurance industry or
capital market. Specialists draw attention that climate change has negative effects and
positive effects. For example, in some parts of Europe, especially in north, the
agricultural may benefit from temperature rise increasing carbon dioxide levels in the
atmosphere. The most important part of these changes is due to greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions from human activity. Between greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the
largest contributor with a weight around of 80 % of total GHG emissions.
The agriculture is the most affected sector by the climate change, but agricultural
activities have many implications on environment through emissions of methane
and nitrous oxide that result from changes in land use and agricultural production
or through the production of bio fuels.
