       Abstract: Our country created the Environmental Fund, namely an economic-
financial tool designated to sustain and develop the environment security projects. The
present paper aims to present and analyze the way of creating, managing and using these
funds from the perspective of the accomplished goals. So, the following issues are
brought into attention: the modalities and income sources of the Environment Funds, the
contributions paid to these funds and their payers, and the ways of calculating these
payments, as well. The environment security projects financed by these funds, the norms
required and the rewarded fields of this domain are also taken into consideration. The
paper ends with an evaluation of the sums raised to the Fund and their destinations.

       Keywords: Environmental Fund, environment projects, income sources, spending
destinations.
