Environment Minister Korodi targets 26sqm of green space per capita


Romania's Environment Minister Attila Korodi will table a bill that would stipulate 26 square meters of green space per capita to reach the European average.


Korodi called for action on this front citing Bucharest where the green areas stand at less than ten square meters per capita. There will be negotiations with each city to find solutions as there are cases where spaces for parks have been overrun by construction works.

The government approved in June to allot 25 million lei from the environment fund to finance projects regarding green spaces this year.

Korodi is attending on Thursday and Friday the Peninsula festival in Targu Mures, central Romania, where he is trying to rise environmental awareness among young people through the Green Peninsula program.
