Pactul verde pentru Europa – strategie de dezvoltare și reper în afirmarea regimului juridic european al climei
The Green Pact for Europe - a Development Strategy and a Landmark in Asserting the European Legal Climate Regime

Summary/Abstract: Officially declaring the climate emergency by the European Parliament, the advances in low-carbon technologies, and the accreditation of their productivity and competitivity, along with the EU assuming the leadership in the global action of enforcing the Paris Climate agreement, have determined the European Commission to assume, on December 11, 2019, the European Green Deal a new strategy for sustainable growth, where eco-climate priorities become social and economic opportunities. Having at its center the environmental transition and following two fundamental objectives – the substantial reduction by 2030 of GHG emissions (at least 55%) so that by 2050 Europe would become the first carbon neutral continent – the programming document will be enforced according to a “roadmap” containing 50 hey actions, for the following three decades. Amongst them, the European Climate Law (regulation), the 2030 Action Plan and the EU Adaptation Strategy to climate change play a major part in attaining the two major objectives. As launched on December 9, 2020, the European Climate Pact offers a space for dialogue, information and implication of the general public in developing, deciding and enforcing new policies and strategies. This affirms a model of development, eco-climate solidarity and European leadership for the 21st century. The Covid-19 crises has generated the adoption of a relaunch strategy where the environmental stake is joined by the sanitary priority and the acceleration of digitalization. Rethinking the nationally an EU determined contributions in GHG emission reduction has determined a new EU strategy at a national level. Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, conceived as a vision for developing the country using EU funding, asks for the adoption of an original conception, according to the new EU perspective on sustainable development, expressed as a national “green deal”. Though the legal developments imposed by the European Green Deal, the regional legal regime on climate registers important progress and by this, certain evolutions towards a climate law, in general, and an EU law of climate change, in particular.
