Abstract

Sustainable land management implies using the land resources considering an optimal equilibrium between the economic growth and the environmental protection. Land-use emissions represent the second highest contribution to greenhouse gas emissions after the emissions from fossil fuels. Their causes are multiple, but mainly due to deforestation, practicing a bad land management, cultivating certain types of crops, using fertilizers and pesticides. Their reduction represents a goal of European Union, and consequently of Romania, that could be achieved by analyzing the evolution of land-use emissions and their impact on mankind and on natural capital, and by assuming concrete policies and strategies in the field of sustainable land management. This paper presents some observations regarding the land-use changes in Romania after 1990 and an analysis of the evolution of net emissions/removal in European Union, and proposes some strategic measures for reducing land-use emissions in Romania, so needed in the current context of climate change. The results indicate the existence of a negative situation in the case of Romanian net emissions/removal generated by the forest land. The strategic measures for diminishing land-use emissions in Romania should focus on designing a better legislative, justice and administrative frameworks, on educating landowners and other stakeholders regarding sustainable land-use, on investing in greener technologies and inputs, on reducing the energy use, and on improving the land tenure system for assuring food security.
