The Prime Minister of Romania Romania is still going through a challenging period in which it has to complete the transition from a centrally planned economic system to a market economy. At the same time, Romania must reduce the gap that still separates it from European Union, in order to be integrated into the great family of nations. This process, motivated mostly by the desire to improve our quality of life, is difficult, and busy coping with the dimensions and complexity of changes, we have sometimes not noticed that the target itself is moving. The world, and especially the West, is experiencing a profound transformation in its effort to ensure the long-term survival of mankind, and it is aware that this can be achieved only if the environment is protected on a global scale. In 1992, at the Rio Conference, also known as the "Earth Summit", all countries, including Romania, agreed unanimously that there was an urgent need to adopt a global strategy for the next century, entitled "Agenda 21", the option of which was to be the implementation of sustainable development principles. The key to this is reconciling two objectives of mankind: the need to continue social and economic development, but also the improvement of the state of our environment as the only way of achieving the well being of current and future generations. In order to accomplish this, it has been decided that each country must assume responsibility to implement sustainable development as soon as possible. The imperative of the international context, which Romania cannot ignore in the current process of globalisation, is not the only reason for Romania's decision to subscribe to sustainable development. The fact that we care for our own environment and resources, our desire to protect and conserve them so that we, as well as our children, can live a healthy life at civilised standards of living, are another reason for our option. The National Strategy for Sustainable Development was developed, for the first time in our country, by a working group established by the government, which made sure that all partners in society were represented. The working group was assisted by the UNDP project called "National Center for Sustainable Development" under the patronage of the Romanian Academy. This document was created due to the general desire and need to increase the well being and prosperity of every Romanian and of society overall. We have thus defined our goal as "doing more with less". The government, as well as society in general, must put into practice the National Strategy for Sustainable Development by elaborating a National Action Plan, which will define our goals concretely. We will be able to ensure harmonious development of our economy, society, and environment only if we adopt this kind of attitude. Radu Vasile 5
