Sustainable Development in the Frame of the 7th Environment Action Programme

Abstract

This paper presents the 7th EAP-the new general Union Environment Action Programme to 2020. Through this Programme, the EU has agreed to step up its efforts to protect our natural capital, stimulate resource-efficient, low-carbon growth and innovation, and safeguard people's health and wellbeing-while respecting the Earth's natural limits. It's a common strategy that should guide future action by the EU institutions and the Member States, who share responsibility for its implementation and the achievement of its priority objectives. It identifies three key objectives: a) to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital; b) to turn the Union into a resource-efficient, green, and competitive low-carbon economy; c) to safeguard the Union's citizens from environment-related pressures and risks to health and wellbeing.

Comparative analysis of sustainable development indicators at E.U. and Romanian level

“…In Romania, as a member state of the European Union, in 1997 the National Center for Sustainable Development was created, under the auspices of the Romanian Academy, which over time managed to become the most authorized voice in civil society in the field of developing proposals and strategies for development (Deselnicu et al, 2017). The purpose of the National Center for Sustainable Development is to identify Romania's sustainable development priorities and achieve them through concrete projects at national and local levels.…”

Bio-Composites with Leather Fibers and Cement - Physico-Mechanical and Structural Characterization

“…The European Commission adopted in 2016 an ambitious Circular Economy Package, which includes measures that will help stimulate Europe's transition towards a circular economy, boost global competitiveness, foster sustainable economic growth and generate new jobs [12][13][14][15].…”

CO2 flow electrolysis – limiting impact of heat and gas evolution in the electrolyte gap on current density

“…3,4 Therefore, to preserve life on this planet, a transition from the current model of a linear economy to a circular economy is imperative. [5][6][7] One step towards mending the anthropogenically caused imbalance in global carbon cycles is to re-introduce CO 2 to the market in the form of value-added green chemicals and energy carriers. A promising approach to facilitate this conversion is CO 2 electrolysis.…”
