Abstract [eng] Climate of the Earth is getting wormer. This fact of climate change may result in big or even catastrophic effects on many counties economics, society, nature and quality of the environment. These changes may effect everyone so that why everybody have to solve this problem. Households of European Union are using one third of all energy so each household is responsible for approximately 20 % of CO2 emission. 70% of energy is used to heat the house, 14% - to heat the water and 12% - is used for electricity device and lighting. Personal car usage also causes 10 % of emissions. The object of this job is Lithuanian households. In order to investigate CO2 emissions in Lithuanian households these problems will be analyzed:  Climate change policy and its realization implements;  Valuation of green house gas emission potential in households;  Methods of decreasing green house gas emission in households;  Supervision of house holds and CO2 emission factors that is used to value one Lithuanian dweller emission quantity that might be decreased;  Emission quantity valuation of all Lithuanian households and compare them to other sectors. In this paper work was analyzed policy which is imposed to decrease green house gas emissions and factors that have impact on choosing policy. There were established interaction between the policy of the state and concerned groups. In analytical part of the work was made an analyze of green house gas emissions structure and it changes in Lithuania. Also there was valuated magnitude of green house gas emissions and its dynamic in Lithuanian sectors. Discussed factors, that made an impact on CO2 emission change from 1990 year to 2007 year. Also there was made analysis of climate change mitigation implements. In this paper work was assessed green house gas emissions reduction potential due to more effective energy consumption implement integration in households and overviewed educational tools which can help to save the energy. In order to value climate change mitigation opportunities in Lithuanian households there was made research methodology which helped to make a research. It was made by observation method. In this research there was registered one man energy consumption and calculated CO2 gas quantity. After that saved carbon dioxide quantity was calculated it was 5,65 Mt for all Lithuanian households. The result was compared to other Lithuanian sectors and also with the quantity of emission which might appear when the Ignalina nuclear electricity will be closed. This job consists of three parts, findings and summary. Size of this paper work is 73 pages 12 tables and 15 pictures.
