2. Green economy

At an European level, in the field of energy production and resources usage, there is a tendency of replacing the fossil fuels and of conserving the energy. These efforts take into account both energy efficiency and an economy with low emission of carbon dioxide based on the renewable sources of energy. Thus, one of the conditions necessary for the achievement of these objectives is given by the ability of human capital to acquire the basic skills, to properly educate and train himself, in order to be able to occupy the newly created jobs.

In general, people who developed high-level skills were less affected by the economic crisis of recent years.

In order to discuss about a green economic growth, it is necessary to consider its determinants. The economic and financial crisis appeared in the context of a crisis of food, water, energy, ecosystems, but also climate changes.
