ENERGY – CLIMATE CHANGE PACKAGE IMPACT ON ROMANIAN URBAN AREAS

Europe recognized the tight link between energy and climate change and took - through a coherent legislative package - the role of a global leadership to tackle climate change, to face up to the challenge of secure, sustainable and competitive energy, and to make the European economy a model for world sustainable development in the 21st century. EU targets to improve the relation between energy and environment are very ambitious and can not be reached without a clear understanding of the requirements of European policies and the effort that each and every Member State has to do. In these conditions, the present paper aims to make a short qualitative analysis on the possible impact that the legal package energy-climate change could have on housing and urbanism in Romanian towns in order to raise some question marks and alert the decision makers.
