This report has been prepared by the
World Bank for the Government of Romania as an output of the
World Bank advisory services program on climate change and
low-carbon green growth in Romania. In response to the
request, the World Bank quickly mobilized a team of sectoral
and climate change (CC) specialists and conducted rapid
assessments in six sectors - energy, transport, urban,
water, agriculture, and forestry, which were pre-identified

Changes in climate and their impact on agricultural systems and rural economies are already evident throughout Europe and Central Asia (ECA). Adaptation measures now in use in Albania, largely piecemeal efforts, will be insufficient to prevent impacts on agricultural production over the coming decades. There is growing interest at the country and development partner levels to have a better understanding of the exposure, sensitivities, and impacts of climate change at farm level, and to develop and prioritize adaptation measures to mitigate the adverse consequences.

Climate change is a huge challenge for
the agriculture and rural development (ARD) sector in
Romania. On the one hand, agriculture is a source of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and must therefore be
expected to contribute towards the climate change mitigation
goals of the Europe 2020 strategy. European farmers,
foresters, rural businesses, and other local people
therefore need to start paying much greater attention to

Romania relies on the European
Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) to achieve its
commitments to the European Union (EU) 2020 targets. The use
of the European Agriculture and Rural Development Fund
(EARDF) requires that at least 30 percent of the budget
allocated for rural development as part of the National
Rural Development Plan (NRDP) be spent on the environment
and addressing climate change. The forest sector rapid

Cities have long held a central place of
importance in society as hubs of commerce, culture, and
political power. Because of climate change, however, the
clustering together of large numbers of people and high
levels of economic activity also creates vulnerabilities. In
Romania, where the urbanization rate is roughly 55 percent,
the Government of Romania has commissioned this advisory
services report from the World Bank to explore how to

The main objective of the report is to
analyze the current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory
process in Romania, and provide recommendations for
improving the system in order to increase the effectiveness
and efficiency of inventory development in compliance with
United Nations framework convention on climate change
(UNFCCC) and European Union (EU) requirements, including
emissions forecasting provisions. This report describes the

Peer-reviewed publication
Asia, Central Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe
This volume presents a synthesis of the multi-country collaborative program of analytical and advisory activities titled reducing vulnerability to climate change in European and Central Asian (ECA) agricultural systems. Climate change and its impacts on agricultural systems and rural economies are already evident throughout the ECA region. Adaptation measures now in use in the region-largely piecemeal efforts-would be insufficient to prevent impacts on agricultural production over the coming decades.

Albania's rapid growth in the
decade up to the 2008 global financial crisis propelled it
to middle-income status and helped to reduce poverty. The
global financial crisis in 2008 slammed the brakes on
Albania's largely domestic-demand-driven growth. The
government has accumulated sizable arrears in payments for
public works and value-added tax (VAT) refunds. In a
baseline scenario of no policy reforms, Albania's

The Europe 2020 strategy and the
legislative package from the European commission provide
European Union (EU) member states a framework and means for
moving towards a greener and more competitive low carbon
economy that makes efficient use of resources and is
resilient to climate risk. The integration of both
mitigation and adaptation actions into Romania's
national policies, programs, and strategies will be a
