ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS MANAGEMENT IN ROMANIA AND ICELAND - A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BASED ON CASE STUDIES AND GOOD PRACTICE ELEMENTS

The presented research aims to study how environmental projects are implemented in a comparative approach based on case studies from very different national contexts (Romania and Iceland) so as to reveal the elements of good practices that constitute a common heritage for organizations involved in carrying out such projects in the future. From a methodological point of view, to carry out the research, case studies were used for two projects from Iceland and Romania, which provided the necessary inputs for the comparative analysis between two projects from two countries. The case studies and the comparative analysis showed that the gaps between the project in Romania and the one in Iceland appear in terms of the relationship between policies – strategies – programs and projects, the relationship with stakeholders, the reporting of progressThere are a number of project management components where, even if there are no gaps, the two projects have scores indicating a lower level of use of specific methods/techniques and practices. That is why the article presents the need and paths to transfer good practices in the implementation of environmental projects in Romania and Iceland.
