Relaţia dezvoltare durabilă-mediu în contextul crizei economice mondiale
The relationship sustainable development – environment in the context of world economic crisis

Summary/Abstract: A development of the society against nature is costly, risky and dangerous. This is the sound of the warning signal pulled by the participants in the conference “Which Forces Are Driving Europe?” organized at the end of May 2008 by the Romanian Association for the Club from Rome. The rise of the oil price, the lack of own energy resources and the aging of the population represent enough reasons for Europe to adopt the sustainable development way, cooperating with the rest of the continents, stated the Romanian and international representatives of the Club from Rome. The main issue is that there is no vision on a long term. The solution? “Education is the key factor” in this equation. Besides, among the practical initiatives taken into account by the European leaders of the Club from Rome, in the near future, there is “a new integrated program, lasting for three years” which can offer a long term vision of the global development, in a stable balance with the consume and the usage of the natural resources.
