The green economy is currently a hotly debated global pillar as it has a significant impact on sustainable development. The implementation of this concept aims to identify viable solutions for the development, conservation and protection of the environment as a result of economic and social aggression. At the same time, international organizations are generating alternatives to combat the long-term negative factors that may affect the well-being of the population. In order to reach the proposed objective, that of implementing a sustainable economy, a coalition is needed between the private sector and the legislative power in Romania. The private and public spheres must reach a common point through which they can reduce the wear and tear of economic growth with the aim of reducing environmental risks, enhancing the use of resources and increasing the quality of life. This paper aims to identify the tools needed to adopt a Green Economy by analysing current opportunities for economic development based on sustainable policies and investments. In the context of those presented, the paper proposes some measures and tools to streamline the transition to a green economy in Romania. To reach the result of this descriptive analysis, research methods were used based on reports, studies, papers and specialized publications both online and offline. As a main result of this paper we can mention the identification of some changes at the level of demographic indicators but also the identification of some notable results in terms of share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption and recycling rate, important factors for the analysis of the green economy at national level.
