Abstract
Greenhouse gases (GHG), such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other gases, are considered to be the main cause of global climate change, and this problem has received significant global attention. Carbon dioxide has been considered the most significant gas contributing to global climate change. Our paper presents an analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions in Romania along with a forecast for the years to come. For the study, data from the National Institute of Statistics and Eurostat were gathered and used for the analysis in order to present the results. To obtain the results, the data gathered were analyzed using forecasting methods that can be of help in solving some uncertainties that surround the future. The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trends in Romania were analyzed both for linear and exponential function methods. The obtained results showed that the linear function analysis of total GHG emissions in Romania had a forecast accuracy higher than the exponential function method. From the analytical methods used we can draw the conclusion that the emissions are on a descending scale and choosing a proper method is important in analyzing data.
Highlights
In order to achieve a sustainable future for the generations, the EU is constantly developing methods and tools to monitor the progress of European countries in reducing the impact of Greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions
A reduction in the negative impact of GHG emissions can be achieved through an increase in public and industry awareness
Because people’s needs increased in this time, the GHG emissions that resulted from these processes increased

The biggest threat to the environment and to a country’s economic situation comes from the climate changes that occur. An analysis over the past 150 years revealed an increase in median temperature by one degree Celsius [1]. The highest temperatures ever recorded since 1850 until now happened after 1995. It is estimated that the annual median temperature by 2100 will increase by 4 to 5 degrees Celsius [2,3].
