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 specifically; however, 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.
