Abstract:

 The development and evolution of human society in the actual context is facing new and more demanding challenges. The environment protection issues are becoming more and more important and thus peoples are trying to find new ways to balance the needs for evolution with the care for nature. In this context achieving the sustainable development goals is an important objective to all types of social communities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the sustainable development goals and to identify the role of the green infrastructure in achieving these goals. Green infrastructure is a relatively new concept used, in particular, in cities from Europe and North America to express all the actions that the national or local communities undertake to achieve the sustainable development goals. Other purpose of this paper is to define the green infrastructure concept and popularize it. In this sense among the definition of the concept we present also the benefits and the challenges to implement green infrastructure.
