[OVERLAP] - Overlapping crises (re)shaping the future of regional labour markets
By 2050, the EU’s labour force is set to decrease by 35 million people. This demographic transition comes at a time when Member States are increasing their efforts to achieve their de-carbonization targets and are ramping up investments to digitalize the economy. These dynamics – together with other unexpected shocks or public interventions – will have far-reaching repercussions on the EU labour market. Most importantly, these effects will not be evenly distributed.

This report contributes to the Maritime Spatial Planning with two objectives: to undertake an analysis and characterization of the coastal and maritime planning and land-sea interactions from a multi-level (national, local), multi-sectoral (energy, aquaculture, transport, tourism, defence, nature protection, etc.) and multi-actor (public, private) perspective. And to outline policy recommendations that could build the basis for comprehensively embedding the maritime spatial planning competences of local and national level into legislation and into formal and informal planning processes.
