Summary/Abstract: Since the beginning of the 1990s, the issue of climate protection has been identified with the determinants of energy security. Due to this fact, the climate policy and energy policy were treated together and, speaking about one problem, the influence of the other was pointed out and analyzed. This aspect grew in importance year by year. In the first decade of the 21st century, the process of creating energy security was analyzed step by step, differently for each of the entities due to the conditions conditioning it. This is because of the negative effects of climate change on the part of states, organizations, entities or societies, for example unexpected low-impact weather phenomena or disasters that carry a difficult to estimate the scale of risk. The problem of climate change, although discussed at such a broad forum, does not create uniform actions in this respect for all countries, because despite the growing awareness of the effects of climate change they still have a problem at the level of implementation of a common policy for sustainable development that sets the framework for environmental protection.
