ISSUES

Air pollution and water pollution caused by industry are serious environmental problems in Romania.

Romania suffers great consequences of climate change in a form of tornadoes, floods and desertification.

Floods in Romania also became frequent and abundant, taking many lives, affecting over 1500 settlements, and causing thousands evacuations.

The most serious social problem in Romania is the high rate of unemployment and low standard of living resulting from the country's transition from a state-run to a market economy.
