Romania's long-term strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions - Neutral Romania in 2050.

The Neutral Romania Scenario aims to achieve Romania's climate neutrality in 2050, by reducing net emissions by 99% compared to the 1990 level. Achieving the targets is only possible by implementing the appropriate policies and measures for each sector, in order to achieve the sectoral emission reduction objectives.
The Strategy must cover the following, with a perspective of at least 30 years: (a) reducing GHG emissions and improving emission reductions by removals; (b) reducing emissions and improving emission reductions by removals in each sector that generates greenhouse gases: electricity production, industry, transport, heating and cooling systems and the buildings sector (residential and tertiary), agriculture, waste; (c) expected progress in the transition to a low-GHG economy, including GHG intensity, CO2 intensity of gross domestic product (GDP), estimates of long-term investments and strategies for related Research, Development and Innovation (RDI); (d) to the extent feasible, the expected socio-economic effect of decarbonization measures, including, inter alia, aspects related to macroeconomic and social development, health risks and benefits and environmental protection; and (e) links with other national long-term objectives, planning and other policies, measures and investments.
The implementation plan outlined in the document includes specific actions across various sectors, with a strong emphasis on local adaptation measures to climate change. It details the responsibilities of different authorities, timelines for action, and sources of funding. The plan also emphasizes the importance of enhancing resilience in the energy sector and promoting sustainable practices across all sectors. In terms of food, agriculture, and natural resource management, the document highlights the need for a comprehensive strategy to adapt agriculture to climate change. Key measures include efficient land management, increasing awareness of risk management tools, and promoting environmentally friendly agricultural practices. The plan calls for specific studies addressing climate change impacts on agriculture and rural development, ensuring that the agricultural sector can contribute to and benefit from the overall goals of sustainability and resilience.
