STUDY CONCERNING THE IMPORTANCE OF FOREST CURTAINS IN THE DIMINUTION OF CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS IN ROMANIA

Abstract

At the beginning of this century and millennium, specialists in the field admit that economic and social development as main concern of the nations – i.e. economic growth and life quality – depend directly on the available nature resources. They have developed the concept of “sustainable development†which is at the basis of developed or developing economies. Certain irrational models of economic growth practiced at present in the world cause ecologic unbalance, and contribute to the appearance of certain phenomena that cause climate change and to the deterioration of the environment and of human life quality. The authors of this paper present the main phenomena that face the environment as a result of climate change and a few solutions that could diminish their negative effects on environment and humans.
