Sustainable development promotes the concept of reconciling economic and social progress without endangering the naturally balanced balance on the planet. The idea behind this concept is to ensure a better quality of life for all the inhabitants of the planet, for the present generations and for the future generations. In Romania, as a member state of the European Union, in 1997 the National Center for Sustainable Development was created under the auspices of the Romanian Academy, which over time managed to become the most authorized voice in civil society in the field of developing proposals and strategies for sustainable development of Romania. The purpose of the National Center for Sustainable Development is to identify Romania's sustainable development priorities and achieve them through concrete projects at the national and local levels. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the opinion of the Romanian citizens regarding Sustainable Development's current context and situation.

The European Parliament (EP) symbolizes many of the struggles that characterize the process of European integration and is at the core of many theoretical and empirical debates about representation, accountability, and legitimacy. This chapter draws on a variety of theoretical approaches to explain the complex role the EP plays in the political system of the European Union (EU). It starts with a brief overview of the history and functions of the assembly, followed by a theoretical explanation of its empowerment over time. Then, it determines the extent to which the EP is capable of influencing policymaking, both in legislative and non-legislative domains, as well as for the appointment of the Commission. It presents the political structure of the assembly and underlines the role of parliamentary groups and committees. It discusses the representativeness of the EP and the democratic quality of its internal functioning. Finally, it addresses current and future challenges for the EP.

The City

Areas that are considered human-friendly are green spaces. The existing urban parks are designed to fulfill the role of relaxation, recreation, and entertainment. However, in many cases, these are historic places, which at the time didn't have much of an impact on external factors. Sustainable development issues are related to the quality of life and the usage of the environment and its resources by present and future generations. Noise and noise protection is an issue that is part of sustainable development. The inadequate implementation of the principles of sustainable development and non-inclusion of noise can noticeably lead to negative effects now and in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyze the soundscapes of two Bydgoszcz parks located in the city center. The values of the equivalent sound level for these areas were obtained from the existing Bydgoszcz acoustic plan. Subsequently, the resulting distribution of noise was compared with the results of subjective perception of sounds by visitors. On this basis, conclusions can be drawn regarding the ways of shaping such areas while taking into account the perception of visitors.

As recognized by United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, the human community has reached a point in which it is faced with an array of choices that will determine the quality of our lives and the state of the global environment for present and future generations. One possibility is that at long last we will pave a path toward environmental stewardship and sustainable development. But it is also quite possible that we will travel a less enlightened course, running down the earth's natural capital and severely limiting the choices our descendants will face.

The article takes up the issues connected to the ecological crisis, causes of which refer to uncontrolled scientifically-technical development, predatory administration of the natural sources of Earth and disrespect of the nature, following from the anthropocentric axiology, the analysis of the Stockholm’s Declaration, the Declaration from Rio and the declaration from Johannesburg, as documents forming the idea of the sustainable development, active that care and respect of nature and preventing degratation of natural environment make a basis of the agricultural and social development and the only rational way to get out of the ecological crisis without radical reduction the quality of human’s life. In discussed declarations they point out the individual, collective and institutional responsibility. It’s set up that the basis of the responsibility figured out like that - for the other human, for present and future generations, for the nature, for the global human’s society, for other communities of alive creatures, for the planet - should be ecophilosophy and systematic sozology. Basing on this two sciences we can make a socio-economical and ecological order indicated in the sustainable development conception.

Current Context

AbstractIn this article, we challenge that assumption that the Court of Justice of the European Union does not need to accommodate dissenting opinions because the necessary arguments and policy perspectives can be outlined in the AG’s Opinion. We examine the greater legitimacy that may be gained from permitting dissenting and concurring opinions in cases which involve the determination of fundamental rights before the Court. We ultimately argue that our discussion on the quality of judgments is closely related to a discussion on the selection process and criteria for membership of the Court. In the current context, however, the AG’s Opinions continue to provide a more robust field for articulating national and European norms and a larger space for interpretive innovation than the Court’s ordinary forum.

We are living in times of unprecedented global change and upheaval and over the next ten to 20 years governments, organisations and individuals will face increasing difficulties in an environment of growing complexity, heightened uncertainty and a quickening pace of change. The concept of sustainable development implies the reconciliation of long‐term socio‐economic development, environmental protection and quality of life; essentially it is concerned with the future. Unfortunately, the potential for linking “futures thinking” to debates about sustainable development at local and regional government levels is relatively undeveloped, particularly in Ireland. Responding to this challenge, The Futures Academy at Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland, was established in January 2003 to provide both a research and consultancy forum for future‐proofing policies and strategies using the “prospective through scenarios” methodology. This paper describes the evolution of sustainable development in Ireland and the generic field of futures thinking, with particular focus on the prospective process which may assist key local policy makers and stakeholders move towards sustainable development for future generations in Ireland.

Sustainable Lifestyle

At a first sight, the consumption of cultural goods, services, events, and activities is expected to improve significantly the individual's wellbeing and quality of life and, reciprocally, overall good quality of life should stimulate the cultural access, participation, and consumption. First evidence that things could stay differently comes from the European Union where, paradoxically, the relatively high overall quality of life does not correspond to a similar level of cultural access, participation, and consumption. Are there significant connections between the consumption of cultural goods, services, events, and activities and the overall quality of life? Does cultural consumption contribute to a sound improvement of the individual's quality of life? May cultural consumption be defined as a trait of a sustainable lifestyle? These are the main questions this paper aims to answer based on the secondary data regarding cultural access, participation, and consumption, and quality of life at the level of the European Union. Keywords: Cultural consumption, quality of life, sustainable development

Sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the rightto meet the needs of future generations. It is used to describe the development of sustainable improvement inthe quality of human life, while trying not to exceed the ability of the ecosystem that supports life. Utilization ofwaste as an alternative source of energy is not yet common, especially the waste that comes in a large capacityfrom farming activities. This is because the waste released into the environment has particular characteristicsand properties, with potential impacts for environmental disadvantage that needs to be done handling back. Thisresearch studied the utilization of cattle feces as an alternative energy of biogas for household and its impact onthe environment in Kepuharjo Village, Cangkringan, Sleman. The results give an overview of how the communityhas responded positively to the use of animal feces biogas as an alternative energy, which proved of value to theutilization of biogas energy savings of 2.50.
