EMISSION OF GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF POLISH RURAL SECTOR

Abstract

The aim of this study was to illustrate the scale to present the trend of changes in the area of GHG emissions originating from the domestic agricultural sector in the years 1990-2015 and to approximate the sources of the indicated emissions. Climate changes including global warming and primarily associated with them economic and social consequences with the global community faces today and which are expected in the future become the source of public discourse and a stimulus for mitigation and adaptive activities. To a large extent they concern agriculture. The sector which not only contributes to the emission of basic GHG of anthropogenic origin but which is also important, has a significant potential to reduce it.
