Abstract: Climate change is one of the most important international problems of the XXI century, which goes beyond a scientific problem and represents a complex interdisciplinary problem, spanning environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainable development. Climate changes are diverse and are manifested, in particular, to change the frequency and intensity of climate abnormalities and extreme weather phenomena, causing serious damage to the economy of the agricultural sector. The territory of the countries of the EEU, to a large extent refers to the area of risky agriculture. According to international experts, it is expected that high temperature and insufficient water supply in Central and southern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus, i.e. where are the States of the EAEU will have serious impact on water resources availability, crop yields and production, the potential of hydropower. Each of the countries of the Association of the EEU has programs, projects, or other records involving carrying out measures to adapt agriculture to global climate change. National programmes and projects on adaptation have their own characteristics, but at the same time and shared the ways of countering the adverse impact of climate change on agriculture. Common for the EEU approaches for adaptation of agriculture in the framework of a coherent agricultural policy is a condition of the successful functioning of the agro-industrial complex of member States.
