Recommendations

We can recommend promoting the funding of projects that combine greenhouse gas emission reductions with an improved quality of life. Street lighting is a major problem in Romania, and in marginal neighbourhoods and rural areas in many cases it is a deficiency. It is recommended that the model of the Alba Iulia - Cetate district should be used when installing new street lighting.
