Decided to support housing and desalination facilities in underprivileged islands and coastal areas

(Rome = Yonhap News) Correspondent Min Gyeong-rak = The Associated Press reported on the 26th (local time) that the European Union (EU) has decided to support housing and desalination facilities in islands and coastal areas struggling with population decline and climate change.

On this day, the EU held a meeting to strengthen the capacity of island and coastal communities in Paphos, Cyprus, and discussed ways to support island and coastal communities in the region.

According to foreign media, the core of the EU support plan is improving transportation networks and digital infrastructure, responding to climate change, resolving energy issues, and responding to the population crisis and security.

Member states plan to submit business proposals after the EU's new budget is announced. The EU explained that desalination facilities and housing projects will be supported first.

This support plan is in response to the recognition that European islands are contributing to the growth of the EU but are suffering from climate change, population decline, and high travel costs.

There are over 4,000 islands across the EU, home to approximately 17 million people. Of these, Ireland, Malta, and Cyprus are member states comprised entirely of islands. The population of coastal areas in the region is approximately 95 million in 22 countries.
