BUCHAREST, Romania, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Romania Unfolds" platform revolves around a mini-series of 6 video documentaries which uncover impactful stories of communities that have solved specific, local challenges by using accessible sustainable solutions.

With each episode, the series also captures local progress through in-depth research, quality journalism, and authentic images that depict a new face of Romania. These empowering stories prove that local communities are a driving force when sustainable solutions and high-impact actions are put to good use.

The central theme in episode one is sustainable cities and communities, while the following five episodes in production focus on other subjects in-line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as: reducing social inequalities, responsible production and consumption, innovation in industry and infrastructure, and clean water.

The series' first episode consists of two case studies: we first meet the residents of Targu Lăpuș, the first town in Romania to have reached a 60% recycling rate, surpassing not only the national - municipal - waste - recycling rate of 13%, but also the European average of 49%. Next, the first cooperative community in Romania to provide energy from 100% renewable sources, a proper legacy for future generations.

In addition to the mini-series, the "Romania Unfolds" platform also provides access to original editorial content, acting as a hub for information on impactful sustainable initiatives, projects, or practices implemented throughout Romania.
