Summary: | In the conditions of sustainable development for Romania it is imperative to advance from a formulated
economy on market forces that ignores the environmental values and exigencies to a sustainable economy based on
knowledge, system that confers huge opportunities for investment. Against on background, it becomes imperative for
our country to pay an increased attention of investments in the reconstruction of ecosystems. This is a fundamental
obligation assumed and confirmed in the national strategy for sustainable development. In these circumstances the
national economy takes a great step forward for the successful integration in the contemporary paradigm of
sustainable development. In this framework the old industries must be restructured on their capacity of production
founded on the natural capital and also the new industries will be created taking into account essentially the capacity
of innovation and the intellectual capital, renewable resources until now neglected. These substantial changes in the
structure of Romania economy requires new professions and modern patterns of production and consumption and
highly qualified human resources. In the same vein preparation of human resources, we consider that preparation of
human resources is the major premise in achieving of sustainable development. Thus, human resource generates
knowledge and information which are endless resources for economic development, which amplify, multiply and
diversify through reutilization. Therefore investments in human resources should concentrate essentially following
directions of action: development of competitive sector of scientific research ecological valence, the training of
specialists in holistic system for the construction of sustainable economy and the preparation of decision makers for
managing of sustainable economy. Generally these dimensions of the national economy reconstruction in accordance
with imperatives of sustainable development will inevitably lead to significant changes in all spheres of economic and
social domains. Practically, in order to build a sustainable economy in Romania as it happens in developed countries
of EU, the protection of domestic natural capital must become a state policy. Whereas until present has been made
significant progress in this direction, we consider that there are still a number of impediments to sustainable
development in Romania. Among the main reasons that hinder the Romanian transition to sustainable economy we can
mention that on the one hand the lack of a constant concern on the improvement of economic infrastructure, industry
recalibration on the supporting capacity of domestic natural capital. On the other hand, the current process of
economic development of our country target immediate profit and short-term solutions. In the contemporary context of
sustainable development it is important for Romania to create a strong research sector of scientific and tehnological
innovation. In this perspective we appreciate that is necessary the preparation of human resources, as specialists in
research, corporative management, innovation, projection, education. The process of sustainable reconstruction of
Romanian economic infrastructure is a long-term and adaptative process of structural and functional transformation
process according to harmonization with the production capacity and the support of natural capital. Also, on the
trajectory of sustainable development, the efficiency receives a new concsitency: eco-efficiency can be calculated
through flows of materials and energy, which is made between natural capital and economic infrastructure namely:
ecological efficiency, environmental efficiency and economic efficiency. |
