“Environmental Legislation, Safety Engineering and
Disaster Management” held its 9th edition in 2012. This
edition was organized by the “Babeş-Bolyai” University
of Cluj-Napoca - Faculty of Environmental Science and
Engineering, together with the Ministry of
Administration and Interior - General Inspectorate for
Emergency Situations, the Disaster Preparedness and
Prevention Initiative for South – Eastern Europe and
S.C. ICPE Bistriţa S.A. The event gathered over 200
participants from 13 countries, with various target
groups such as academics, industry, competent
authorities, civil society and local community.
Considering the current increasing natural and
technological risks, strengthened international
environmental governance and reformed institutional
framework for sustainable development are necessary in
order to provide, the safety of the citizens, environment,
cultural values and economic goods. These challenges
have been acknowledged by European and international
bodies operating in the field of environmental safety,
and are worldwide approached by target initiatives and
programmes such as the United Nations International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction within the Hyogo
Framework for Action 2005-2015.
More important, the event facilitated
networking activities between experts and organizations
working at local, national and international level in the
mitigation the impact of climate change and disasters
upon the local communities, a key aspect in the future
Post-2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The interdisciplinary character of the 181
presentations is reflected by the topics of the conference
which include Environmental safety, Technologies and
equipment for environmental assessment and
protection, Water quality and management of water
resources, Approaches to environmental pollution,
Emergency situations and disaster management,
Environmental impact assessment and sustainable
development, Risks associated to contaminated sites and
remediation techniques, Environmental Health,
Atmospheric modelling and monitoring, Challenges of
environmental protection, The environment and life
quality.
During the 3 days of the conference, there were
80 oral presentations and more than 100 poster
presentations, of which, after subjecting them to a
rigorous peer-review process, the Scientific Committee
