* at EU level, a high concentration of economic activity and population in the central area or pentagon (which stretches between North Yorkshire in England, Franche-Comté in France, Hamburg in northern Germany and Milan in the north of Italy), which was identified in the second Cohesion Report and which covers 18% of the EU15 land area while accounting for 41% of population, 48% of GDP and 75% of expenditure on RD. Enlargement will only increase this degree of concentration by adding to the EU land area and population but increasing GDP relatively little.

Effects of the changing climate and continued environmental degradation will lead to more intense and frequent extreme natural events, including floods, droughts, and cyclones; Climate change is also a threat multiplier for instability, conflict and state fragility leading to migration and displacement, weak governance and geo-political instability; Conflicts and fragility also further affect the vulnerability to disasters; Population growth, primarily in poorer countries and households, as well as rapid urbanisation will increase pressure on natural resources and on economic activities in disaster prone areas; Rapid urbanisation leadi ...[+++]ng to the concentration of population and investment in hazard and risk prone areas is also a trend that increases significantly vulnerability (it is estimated that by 2050, 60 to 70 % of the world's population will live in urban areas)[10]; Demand for energy and food is growing and puts pressure on resources like land and water.

A. whereas by 2025 urban development in the Mediterranean may reach a level of 60 %, with a third of the population concentrated in coastal areas, thus doubling the demand on water and on fishing resources;

7. Calls on the Member States and regions to consider the divergent development levels of the regions and also demographic indicators, for example the dependency ratio, when allocating and distributing EU structural funds and when defining impact indicators; points out that globally the EU has the highest proportion of elderly people among its population; believes that the Commission should also propose ways of addressing demographic change on a Europe-wide basis; considers it essential in terms of both access to infrastructure and services and environmental protection to assess not only workforce migration, but also the need to guarantee the conditions that keep people in their own regions, in order to avoid ...[+++]population concentration in certain urban areas;
