The aim of the article is to characterize selected issues concerning employment in the era of climate change. The research thesis was adopted that performing work in the era of climate change constitutes, on the one hand, a threat to employees, and on the other – a challenge to the governments of individual countries and employers. The issue of whether climate change and the actions taken in this regard will lead, on the one hand, to the destruction of some jobs and, on the other hand, to the creation of new jobs requires emphasis. The article first analyzes the terms "work" and "climate", then characterizes the sources of law concerning the title issue in the international, EU and national dimension, and also synthesizes the organizational system for administering employment matters in the era of climate change. Finally, an assessment of the currently functioning Polish legal regulations in the area of health and safety in the context of climate transformations was made. To achieve the above-mentioned scientific effects, two methods of studying law were used in the work, i.e. dogmatic-legal and sociological.
