Opportunities and challenges for remote rural areas in the European Union
- Rural Pact
- Rural Revitalisation Platform
- Stronger Rural Areas
- Connected rural areas
- Resilient rural areas
- Prosperous rural areas
The brief describes the EU’s remote rural areas, showing how remoteness can increase territorial disparities across the urban-rural continuum. Remote rural areas differ from non-remote ones in key areas such as demography, economy, service provision, connectivity,
biodiversity and the geographic context. This policy brief was developed in cooperation with the DG for Agriculture and Rural Development and the DG for Regional and Urban Policy of the European Commission in support of the rural vision.
