The European Union is playing the leading role in the climate change politics formation. Its priority is to reduce greenhouse effect causing gases as much as possible. The European Union has commited to reduce the average air temperature to above than 2ºC. But in order to achieve that the European coutries have to independently implement the climate change commitment. The problem of the research. Because the climate is changing very rapidly, so the world, especially The European Union is trying to fight the climate change. The European Union has initiated a lot of legal documents and has commited the other nations to take action. One of those nations, which has commited for the climate change control, is Lithuania.

In this paper I have gathered and presented the newest information about the climate change policies formation and its implementation in a global and national scale. I have analysed Lithuanias institutions which are responsible for the climate change formation and implementation. Lithuania is carrying out its commitment to the climate change politics, but it isn‘t an area of priority in this country. The institutional structure has to be improved, the regional institutions have to contribute more to the climate change politics formation and realization. More rights have to be granted to these institutions. Also the country should educate its people about the climate change.
