Abstract: Sustainable development has been the most claimed and debated subject of concern, for about three decades. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) commitments of the Agenda 2030 flowed from a higher emergency, importance and priority of environmental, economic and social issues that have marked the entire world in the last years (financial and economic crisis, worsening effects of the global warming and climate change etc.). The objective of this research paper is a theoretical-methodological grounding and analysis of the objectives and policies required for the progress of the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals), in the transition to a greener and sustainable economy in the European Union and in Romania. The methodology is based on the analysis and highlighting of the most significant links and synergies that exist and act between the SDGs, stemming from the trinomial character of the sustainable development concept, with its (environmental, economic, social) pillars. Moreover, the inter-related and dynamic character of the SDGs is a topic of permanent concern for both the academics and the policy makers, since new international challenges or conflicts may always arise and jeopardise the prospects of sustainable development. There are some conceptual analyses based on literature review and practical examples on monitoring recent progress towards the SDGs in the European Union and in Romania.
