Cities of the future
SUSTAINABILITY SCHOOL #3
Cities occupy only 4% of the European Union's surface area but are home to 75% of its population. Moreover, cities are responsible for over 65% of global energy consumption and 70% of CO2 emissions. By 2050, the EU aims for all European cities to achieve climate neutrality, making cities central to reaching the ultimate goal of the European Green Deal: climate neutrality by 2050.
According to data from the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Romania 2030 (SNDDR 2030), the share of Romania's urban population increased to 54.4% in 2014, up from 34% in 1960. This process of urbanization continues to grow, requiring Romanian cities to become inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable to address socio-economic and environmental changes.
