Summary/Abstract: The proposals regarding the ”European green diplomacy” destined to create a ”green power” profile for EU, as focused on the European Green Convent, should be seen, in our opinion, as an innovative, strategic dimension of the environmental security, a trans-disciplinary concept born from the connections of EU member states domestic policies with the European decision-making level, and also, with the security policies (national ones, and those regarding the Union as distinct entity, as well). The European Green Convent represents, in our opinion, the beginning of a European integration process destined to offer regional-European solutions to some challenges seen by EU as ”global” (climatic changes, biodiversity lost), including the environmental challenges born from the environmental trans-frontier criminality phenomena. Within this paper, we’ll try to briefly approach some aspects as the necessity of an European criminal law, the concept of the ”European Green Space”, and some innovative institutions as the necessity of a Special Department within the European Court of Justice or a ”Green Tribunal”, within the EU self-assumed profile of being a ”global green actor”, a strategic dimension based on the ”green power” notion, and on its necessary EU strategic projections for the XXIst century, too.
