  3. The ESPON 2013 Programme Role in Structural Funds 2007-2013: • Support policy development with evidence on European territorial structures, trends, perspectives and policy impacts Mission: • Provide comparable information on territorial dynamics that can reveal territorial capital and potentials Budget 2007-13: • 47 mill Euro, • 34 mill. Euro from the European Commission • 13 mill. Euro from 31 countries participating (EU 27 plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) Programme structure: • 5 Programme priorities

  11. Examples of results of ESPON results: • Major challenges with territorial dimension • Concentration, connection and cooperation

  12. Territorial imbalances in 2000

  13. Economic development and current recession: Recovery and social impact, accelerating globalisation and new markets, technological innovation, regional diversity Climate change: Mitigation and adaptation, CO2 reduction, new hazard patterns and new territorial opportunities Demographic changes: Ageing of the population and migration pressure Energy challenge: Security of supply, alternative energy sources, development of energy prices Transport increase: Accessibility, saturation of EU-corridors, more environmentally friendly solutions Geographic integration: Further EU enlargements and integration of new territories, their regions and cities Major challenges with territorial impact

  14. Demographic scenario: Population ageing 2030

  15. Europe and its neighbourhood towards 2030

  16. Main places driving the European territory • Concentration (Pentagon) • Signs of de-concentration • Urban places drivers of economy • Functionality the key for success

  17. Economic Lisbon indicators • Regional diversity of potential contribution • 7 out of 14 Lisbon indicators: • (1) GDP/capita, • (2) GDP/employed person, • (3) Employment rate, • (4) Employment rate of older workers, • (5) Gross domestic expenditure on R&D • (6) Dispersion of regional (un)employment rates • (7) Long-term unemployment rate.

  18. Potential Multimodal Accessibility 2006 Index (EU27=100)

  20. Potential Rail Accessibility 2006 Index (EU27=100)

  21. Potential Air Accessibility 2006 Index (EU27=100)

  22. Potential Air Accessibility 2001-2006 EU27 = 7.8% Relative change (in %)

  23. Aggregated natural and technological hazards

  24. Natural Hazards Winter & tropical storms • Southern Europe: Forest fires and drought hazards • Western and Northern Europe: Winter storms, storm surges and floods • Climate change: Affects frequency, intensity and coverage Flood recurrence Precipitation deficit Forest fires
