In a divided world, great joint efforts are being made to combat climate change in various structures, from regional ones, such as EU Climate Action and the European Green Agreement, to global ones, such as the Paris climate agreement.

Romania is no exception to implementing and enforcing the policies agreed with international partners aiming to substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, in a regional context, where the main stated objectives are that, by 2050, Europe becomes the world’s first climate-neutral continent and, while some impacts of climate change are unavoidable, a continent with a climate-resilient society, adapted to the impacts of climate change.

These ambitious directions and objectives are inevitably reflected in a strict, rigid and complex regulatory framework, accompanied by the need for structural changes in the ways of production and consumption, transport and, in general, in the way people live together.
