The observed climate changes pose a serious threat not only to humans and the environment, but also to the further development of life on our planet. Stronger and more frequent climatic anomalies connected with unprecedented hurricanes, and droughts as well as catastrophic floods, on the other hand, are a real threat both to humans and the environment. Unfortunately, during Covid-19 pandemic the situation is getting worse, since all countries are facing serious biological and economic crisis and climate issues become less important. However, environmental engineering is a science counteracting these negative phenomena. First, it provides the technologies that reduce the GHG (greenhouse gas emissions), especially in the traditional energy sector. Secondly, it enables the development of RES (renewable energy sources). Thirdly, it helps to shape the landscape in environmentally friendly way and it provides the technologies that reduce the negative consequences of environmental disasters. Thus, environmental engineering gives hope that the climate crisis will be overcome.
