National Study on Public Perception on Carbon Management in Romania

Authors: Ioana Maria Vasiliu, Daria Sorescu, Sabina Ghiță

This study analyses how citizens, local communities, industry, civil society, and public authorities in Romania understand and evaluate carbon management technologies.

Findings indicate that Romania is at an early but favourable stage, in which public perceptions are still forming. The level of acceptance depends on the quality of governance, the availability and organisation of administrative resources, and the way institutions communicate, coordinate, and demonstrate that projects are managed transparently and in the interest of the economy and local communities.
