CAP and Climate Change

CAP, or the Common Agricultural Policy, is a European Union program that supports farmers and promotes sustainable agriculture by providing financial aid and regulations. Climate change refers to the long-term warming of Earth's climate due to increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and environmental shifts. The relationship between CAP and climate change involves efforts to encourage farmers to adopt eco-friendly practices, reduce emissions, and preserve natural resources, aligning agriculture with global climate goals.
