Abstract

The research provides an analysis of the effects of climate change on the agricultural sector in Romania. Global warming is a phenomenon currently being acutely felt in our country, with implications for both the population and economic activities. Open access sources from major online scientific databases were used for documentation. The research was conducted using information from national and European statistics. The data were selected, systematized, statistically processed, and interpreted. The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme events have a significant impact on the Romanian agricultural sector. Among the national measures proposed to mitigate climate change, the study analyzed land improvement works to reduce erosion and soil degradation, the development of irrigation infrastructure, and the planting of forest belts for the protection of agricultural lands and localities. The research results indicate a low level of these actions, with Romania currently unprepared to face the challenges posed by global warming. Urgent and comprehensive measures by the authorities are needed, including the effective access and use of national and European funds, and the development of public-private partnerships to increase the volume and frequency of actions aimed at mitigating the impact of global warming.
