The means for cities and regions to support the energy transition in the Mediterranean. “The Mediterranean region is believed to be warming 20% faster than the global average. At the same time, population and tourism growth, predominantly in coastal urban areas, together with intensive industrialisation, are putting additional pressure on available energy resources. The objective of this study is to map and analyse possible opportunities to further diversify energy supply in the Southern Neighbourhood countries, above all concerning the role that cities and regions can play in accelerating a just and inclusive energy transition.”

Living and working in Europe 2023. “This yearbook provides a snapshot of what Eurofound learned and shared about the lives and work of Europeans in 2023.”

The political dimension of social cohesion in Europe. “This report investigates the political dimensions of social cohesion in Europe, offering a 20-year perspective derived from 10 rounds of the European Social Survey. It scrutinises trends and regional variations in political participation, examining correlations with levels of institutional distrust and discontent. In addition, the report explores political engagement amid the COVID-19 pandemic, utilising insights from the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey. “Unemployment emerges as the primary driver of political disengagement, a pivotal finding of the analysis. Furthermore, the report uncovers significant disparities in political engagement across European regions. Regions with well-educated populations tend to exhibit higher levels of political activity, and economic prosperity and migration rates have only a modest influence on political activity. The report also highlights the variation in institutional distrust across regions. Nordic countries display markedly lower levels of distrust in their institutions than continental countries, whereas in eastern European and Mediterranean countries levels are markedly higher.”
