Test I I. Translate the following text into Romanian: What the world needs is healthy, sustainable growth.

To achieve sustainable growth growth compatible with the needs and constraints of nature we must secure the link between environmental and economic policies at all levels of government and in all sectors of the economy. Harmonizing economic expansion with environmental protection requires a recognition that there are environmental benefits to growth, just as there are economic benefits from healthy natural systems. Good growth unifies environmental, social and economic concerns, and stresses the responsibility of all individuals to sustain a healthy relationship with nature. II. Translate into English: 1.
