Cohesion Challenges: Looking Ahead to 2035
This study aims to assess the vulnerability and resilience of EU regions in light of key future challenges: globalisation, technological change, demographic shifts, and the transition to climate neutrality. Using five macroeconomic and regional models across different scenarios, the study provides insights into how these factors may impact regional economies. To enrich the analysis, qualitative data was also incorporated, offering a comprehensive view of potential challenges and opportunities for cohesion policy.
