    Romania, Europe, Central Asia

    This assessment presents a synthesis of analysis to contribute to the definition of a lower carbon and greener growth path for Romania to 2050. The objective of Romania’s green growth path is to implement mitigation actions and undertake needed adaptation while preserving growth and employment. Romania has maintained a steady growth in output while containing the growth of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. From now to 2050, real incomes in Romania are expected to continue to grow, and its carbon emissions are expected to continue declining.

    Romania, Europe, Central Asia

    By European standards, Romania is a low urbanized country. There exists a rising trend towards suburbanization, however, that is not fully captured by Romania’s urban statistics. The country’s urbanization rate of 55 percent has remained fairly constant over the past two decades, despite significant population migration out of the country, and a strong suburbanization trend in areas on the immediate outskirts of major cities.

    Romania, Europe, Central Asia

    In Romania, as well as in many other East European countries, transport sector Green House Gas (GHG) emissions are increasing fast and their growth is expected to continue into the future, accompanying the on-going economic convergence with the European Union (EU). The objective of the analysis was to assess the impact of green policies and investments on transport emissions. For this purpose, the Romania Transport Strategic Emission Prediction Tool (TRANSEPT) was developed.

    Romania, Europe, Central Asia

    This report is about Energy sector in Romania which is responsible for 58 percent of the country’s GHG emissions (except Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF)), and is therefore critical for mitigation. Romania’s economic growth and energy consumption have been decoupling since the early 1990s, and the energy intensity of the economy has been continuously decreasing, but it is still high. At present, Romanian energy supply system is relatively carbon intensive, but share of zero-carbon energy sources is growing.

    Romania, Europe, Central Asia

    This report is about Romanis's Green growth benchmarking, which is a country-level diagnostic that helps define a country’s strengths and vulnerabilities in adopting a path to greener growth. The process of defining a country’s green growth path starts with an analysis aimed at mapping the country’s current position on a multi-dimensional green-growth chart, with each dimension defined by an indicator of green growth.

    Romania, Europe, Central Asia

    This report is about forests that provide a substantial contribution to mitigation in Romania by sequestering carbon, helping to counter carbon emissions from other sectors in the economy. Sustainable forest management is challenged by fragmented ownership and insufficient financial resources in particular. A summary of key existing analytic studies, and the construction of a marginal abatement cost curve for mitigation actions in the forestry sector, was the basis for identifying key adaptation and mitigation measures for Romania’s forests.

    Romania, Russia, Ukraine

    Against the backdrop of economic
    transition, several countries in Eastern Europe have
    undertaken far-reaching programs to restructure their coal
    sectors, which in the 1990s were in a state of deep crisis.
    One aspect of restructuring has been the closure of
    loss-making mines, which are often located in communities
    where the coal industry is the dominant employer, and the
    significant downsizing of the workforce. Mitigation efforts

    This poverty assessment for Romania
    covers the period from 1995 to 2002, since the last World
    Bank poverty analysis reviewed the evolution of poverty from
    1989 to 1994, the early years of transition from a socialist
    to a market economy. This assessment's objective is to
    understand how poverty has evolved and how economic growth
    and social protection programs, 10 percent of GDP, have
    affected poverty, as Romania prepares for accession to the

    This Country Economic Memorandum (CEM)
    looks at the broad reform program, including institutional,
    governance, and economic restructuring reforms Romania is
    pursuing, which are anchored in its process for accession to
    the European Union (EU). The challenge is to expand
    integration with the EU more broadly throughout the economy,
    by relying on market driven mechanisms in a predictable
    rules-based policy environment, with the state sharply
