Abstract

A progressive view upon environmental policy highlights the role of the state, which, together with other institutions (from the private or civil society areas), fights against the risks and disadvantages, such as inequality and poverty, both locally and regionally. In this context, it is undeniable that an important condition for reaching sustainable development objectives is the simultaneity of action across, within and between several dimensions. For this reason, states, regions and institutions need to come together and synchronise their objectives and actions according to commonly agreed priorities (Socol et al, 2009). In other words, there is a stringent need to correlate economic policies with environmental ones, as well as with policy areas such as investments, labour force, education, health and research-development (R&D). Therefore, this paper will present a study-case upon climate change policies – how they can be defined, what are they typologies and what Romanias position among European Unions states is.
