Transfer of climate, environmental and nature conservation commitments in slovenian agricultural policy

Varstvo okolja se je po sprejetju Amsterdamske pogodbe leta 1997 začelo vključevati v vse sektorske politike, pri čemer Skupna kmetijska politika (SKP) ni izjema. SKP, ki se je v 60. letih prejšnjega stoletja oblikovala predvsem zaradi dohodkovne podpore proizvajalcem, je danes vse bolj podrejena okoljskim zahtevam. V nalogi smo s pregledom primarnih (mednarodni akti, evropska in slovenska zakonodaja ter podzakonski akti) in sekundarnih (strokovni članki, strokovna literatura itd.) virov pridobili podatke o stanju podnebnih, okoljevarstvenih in naravovarstvenih zavez na mednarodni, evropski in nacionalni ravni, ki zadevajo kmetijstvo. Po posameznih specifičnih področjih obravnave varstva biotske pestrosti, varstva voda, varstva tal in varstva podnebja smo nato iskali interakcijo med pregledano okoljsko in kmetijsko zakonodajo ter se pri tem osredotočali predvsem na ukrepe kmetijske politike v obdobju 2014–2020, ki te zaveze prenašajo. Ugotovili smo, da so zahteve okoljskega prava po področjih konkretno oblikovane, a je njihova implementacija v slovensko kmetijsko politiko različna. Obravnavani ukrepi kmetijske politike so v največji meri zastopani na področju varstva biotske pestrosti, sledita področji varstva tal in voda. Najšibkeje so zastopani ukrepi, ki so namenjeni prilagajanju kmetijskih gospodarstev na podnebne spremembe in blaženju njihovih posledic. Zakonodaja na področju varstva okolja je izredno razvejana in kompleksna, zaradi česar mora biti v prihodnosti za boljšo implementacijo ciljev kmetijske politike glede tal, voda, podnebja in biotske pestrosti medresorsko povezovanje tesnejše.After the Treaty of Amsterdam was signed in 1997, environmental protection began to be included into all sectoral policies, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) presenting no exception. CAP, which was formed in the 1960s mainly as income support for producers, is now increasingly becoming subject to environmental demands. In this master’s thesis, agriculture-related data on the status of undertakings regarding climate, environmental protection and nature conservation on international, European and national levels were acquired by analysing primary and secondary resources. According to individual specific areas of dealing with biodiversity preservation, water protection, soil conservation and climate protection, we tried to identify the interaction between the analysed environmental and agricultural legislation, and in doing so, we focused mainly on the measures of 2014–2020 agricultural policy, transferring these undertakings. We determined that the undertakings of the environmental law according to different areas are formed specificallyhowever, their implementation into the Slovenian agricultural policy differs. The discussed measures of the agricultural policy are to the greatest extent represented in the area of biodiversity preservation, followed by the areas of soil conservation and water protection. The least represented are the measures aimed at agricultural holdings in order for them to adapt to climate change and mitigate its consequences. In the field of environmental protection, the legislation is extremely diversified and complex, demanding closer inter-sectoral integration in the future in order to better implement the aims of agricultural policy regarding soil, water, climate and biodiversity
