The Development of the Islands - European Islands and Cohesion Policy

Programme 2007 - 2013 ESPON

Date of latest update: 2026-03-28

Description

Description (EN):

In recent years great consideration has been given to geographical particularities within the EU which seem to be significantly responsible for the persistence of regional and intraregional inequalities, affecting the development of some regions. The territorial dimension has been included in the recent cohesion reports, lending a particular dynamic in the search of more specialised and integrated policies. Based on the common acknowledgment of the particular problems that islands face but also on their opportunities for development, a specific Action concerning the European Islands has been included in the First Action Program (AP1) for the implementation of the Territorial Agenda. The EUROISLANDS targeted analysis is in line with the requirements and objectives of the AP1 and is expected to contribute to the definition of the future steps of the Action. The aim of the project is to deliver an appropriate reference work and a set of policy recommendations and strategic guidance to foster the sustainable development of the European islands within the framework of the Single Market.
