Abstract

Poland has made a commitment to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by ratifying the Kyoto Protocol and by participating in the climate policy of the European Union (EU). EU Climate and Energy Package (CEP), which was negotiated in 2008 and has been successively introduced into the EU legal system. The CEP introduces much stricter requirements for the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions and imposes higher costs on the adjustment of Polish energy sector and other sectors of Polish economy to the requirements of the EU law. The influence of the EU on the Member States during the course of European integration is described in the literature of the subject as Europeanisation. In this study I will analyse the influence on the policy of the Polish government with respect to stimulating the development of low carbon economy (including industry).
