| Summary: | Although, the environmental and climate concerns have been put on the agenda of the CAP, permanent
grassland covers have decreased, agricultural greenhouse gas emissions still account for 10 percent of the EU’s
total emissions, soils continue to degrade and wildlife numbers decline. Hence, despite the fact that formally the CAP
has integrated environmental aspects, the environmental outcomes of this approach have been questioned on
multiple fronts. (Heyl K. et al, 2020) As a result, a series of reports and impact studies were carried out with the role
of supporting the configuration of the CAP 2021-2027, as an attempt to further mainstream environmental
considerations across the new CAP. Taking into account all these elements, this paper analyse descriptively the CAP’s
environment and climate elements. The objective is to identify the key challenges that the new CAP have to address
considering shortcomings of the CAP 2014 - 2020 from the environmental and climate perspective
