Brașov is a city in central Romania, located in the Carpathian Mountains and surrounded by forests and natural landscapes. Known for its historic centre and strong tourism sector, the city has a continental mountain climate, with cold winters, mild summers and increasing exposure to heatwaves, heavy rainfall and environmental pressures linked to urban growth and mobility.

 

Its location at the intersection of tourism, industry and natural ecosystems makes climate action particularly important for Brașov. The city faces the challenge of reducing emissions while protecting biodiversity, improving air quality and preserving the surrounding natural environment that plays a key role in local identity and resilience.

 

Brașov is working to strengthen sustainable mobility, improve energy efficiency in buildings and modernise urban infrastructure. Public transport, greener public spaces and measures to reduce car dependency are central priorities, alongside efforts to integrate climate adaptation into urban planning and environmental management.

 

The city’s approach combines heritage, nature and innovation. Through cooperation with public institutions, businesses and local communities, Brașov is building a pathway towards climate neutrality that supports both economic development and long-term environmental resilience in one of Romania’s most distinctive urban regions.
