Description
Summary:Mountains cover 35% of Europe’s area and are home to 17% of the continent’s population. These mountains, ranging from the Arctic to the Mediterranean, are highly diverse in every respect. Characterising them depends greatly on the spatial scale of analysis. This presentation will first introduce trends and patterns of population, employment, land use, water supplies, biodiversity, and protected areas across Europe’s mountains. Second, policies and policy initiatives – both sectoral and integrated – that have been promoted by a variety of actors and implemented at both European and national scales will be discussed. Les montagnes couvrent 35% de la superficie de l'Europe et abritent 17% de la population du continent. Ces montagnes, allant de l'Arctique à la Méditerranée, sont très diversifiées à tous égards. Leur caractérisation dépend beaucoup de l'échelle spatiale de l'analyse. Seront d'abord présentées les tendances : tendances de la population, de l'emploi, de l'utilisation des terres, de l'approvisionnement en eau, de la biodiversité et des aires protégées dans les montagnes d'Europe. Puis seront discutées les politiques et les initiatives politiques - tant sectorielles que globales - qui ont été promues par divers acteurs et mises en œuvre à la fois à l'échelle européenne et nationale.
