“…The European Green Deal is an ambitious plan of the European Commission aiming to make the European Union a leader in climate and environmental policy (Hass & Sander, 2020) by targeting to reduce drastically the CO2 emissions by 2030 (50-55%), and to ensure carbon neutrality by 2050 (European Commission in Furfari & Mund, 2021;Piontek, 2020). All these would decouple drastically the economic growth and development from carbon and resource consumption, this aim being proved to be achievable in the last thirty years, as in EU the greenhouse emission were reduce by 23% along with an economic growth of 61% (European Commission in Piontek, 2020).…”

“…The green growth implies job creation, as well; those jobs related to green growth are known as green jobs, belong to green sectors, such as renewable energy and energy efficiency, and consist of labour designed to preserve or to restore the environment, improve raw materials efficiency, limit the emission of greenhouse gas, reduce and minimize pollution, waste and climate change effects (International Labour Organization in García Vaquero et al, 2021). Even if the European Green Deal emerged planning a sustainable future and ensuring energetic abundance at lower economic and ecological costs and thus pointing to a superior wellbeing and living standards, it is questioned by several academics due to possibilities of citizens' long-term suffering, and to their low adaptability, changing habits, and underestimation of their importance (Eckert & Kovalevska, 2021;Furfari & Mund, 2021;Samper et al, 2021). Also another challenge in implementing the European Green Deal is seen in the diversity and division among the member states regarding the climate policies (Haas & Sanders, 2020;Dupont & Torney, 2021).…”

“…Gas and oil prices rose in the 2021's autumn determining higher heating and electricity costs for European households and industries, leading to a rising inflation and also to a lowering living standard. This situation and also the war between Russia and Ukraine -two important providers of gas for the European countries -enhanced the importance of implementing the European Green Deal's policies in order to meet much faster the aimed reduced fossil fuels dependency (European Commission, 2021) even if in the last years, the efficiency policy promoted by the European Union decreased the general energy demand (Furfari & Mund, 2021). The European Green Deal is much more ambitious, targeting several aspects related to climate neutrality, reduced emissions of CO2 and greenhouse gas, sustainable usage of resources, green economic growth, creating new green jobs and also improving Europeans' quality of life (European Commission, 2019;Eckert & Kovalevska, 2021).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world forever and all the limits imposed against spreading the virus, determined changes in humankind’s perspective and behaviour: concerns on health increased, and so did the needs to explore and live in the moment. Definitely, the latter perspective is prone to higher consumption, and so the high demand impacts inflation levels, as well. Since the pandemic started, Romania faced increasing prices, but the last gas price is the ultimate challenge affecting even more the living standards. The need to reduce consumption and save energy is evident more then ever, and this challenge should be considered as an opportunity for highlighting the importance, and shaping sustainable consumption behaviour. Nowadays energy efficiency measures are a must in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and also the import costs of energy, improving the security of supply, and achieving a sustainable energy supply. This paper focuses on implementing the European Green Deal’s objective in Romania, on building refurbishments. These and retrofitting are very popular practices around Europe, used in improving households’ comfort and reducing heating bills; these are the direct effects the population perceives, but there are a lot more concerning energy resources and pollution. The present paper assess them focusing on Oradea, a Western Romanian city. Our research involves direct observation of investments and heating consumption’s level, and our first findings prove a positive impact of these strategies on consumption, even if the pandemic changed the way of living and working, and so the whole consumption level was affected.

The European Union (EU) hopes to motivate a sustainable green transition in response to widespread concern that the earth is heading toward environmental calamities due to climatechange issues. The present study focused on analyzing the impact of the EGD on Agricultural carbon emissions in Turkey. European Union and Turkey have strong trade relations; Turkey exports a significant portion of its exports to the European Union. This fact made it compulsory for Turkey to follow the regulations implemented in the EU regarding trade. In reaction to the European Union's EGD, Turkey formulated EGD Action Plan, this plan laid down the roadmap for Turkey to follow the regulations under the EU's EGD. Agriculture carbon emissions in Turkey and EGD are taken as the variables for the study. In the present report, an attempt has been made to analyze impact of the EGD on agriculture carbon emissions. In study, we consider agriculture CO2 emissions as the dependent-variable and the EGD as the independentvariable. Secondary data from the various published sources have been collected and analyzed with statistical tools, and findings are drawn from them. Statistical tools like Unit Root Tests, the Ordinary Least Square Test, and Auto regressive distributed lag model, are used to interpret the impact. The result of our study shows that EGD significantly impacts agriculture carbon emissions.

“…Also little work exists regarding HMI concepts for bicyclists, as described in [24]. Due to the trends of vehicle automation [25] and the promotion of sustainable modes of transport [26], [27], enabling safe encounter between AVs and bicycles will be a crucial point in future urban traffic.…”

In order to investigate the interaction between automated vehicles (AVs) and bicyclists, we present a coupled driving simulator that enables these two traffic participants to interact in a virtual environment. To avoid potentially dangerous situations in road traffic, human perception can be extended by communication between vehicles and their environment. In order to assist the communication process between traffic participants, mobile devices are applied as human-machine interfaces (HMIs). The simulator links the simulation and visualization software with a web application to control the HMIs. The passenger of the AV can change priority rules at conflict situation in the simulation with that application and therefore influence the vehicles behavior via the communication application. To test the coupled simulator, a proof of concept study with 16 simulation runs and two participants each is conducted. The subjects rated the overall simulation impressions tending positive. Based on the evaluation of the study participants, the simulator setup will be further developed.
