The processes of recent climate changes in Europe and on the planet as a whole are considered. The negative economic consequences of climate change are shown. Such consequences are expressed in an increase in air temperature, droughts, a decrease in crop yields, hurricanes, the destruction of buildings, structures and communications, floods and flooding of large areas of land. The problem of sustainable development of mankind in terms of preserving the planet's climate for present and future generations should provide for the solution of a set of tasks: the production of primary energy in the global sense, using sources that do not cause significant harm to nature, and the transformation of such energy into other types of resources. A set of measures within the framework of the systemic model of decarbonization and the processes of managing the progress of their implementation are considered. In this context, the most important and promising direction is the development of wind energy, the second most important is the use of solar energy.
