Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify and categorize the meteorological and climatic risk phenomena most present on the Romanian territory and to assess the threats and their effects on the national security. In a restrictive manner these climatic risk phenomena are commonly included in the generic term of so-called climate change and sometimes even reduced to the most known global warming. It must be said that they occurred long before the actual perceivable effects of the climate change. By the other hand the climate change evidentially exacerbated the frequency and the intensity of the hazardous meteorological and climatic risk phenomena.
