## Resource

The EU is launching a bold new island and coastal strategy to finally give these overlooked communities the support they deserve—addressing everything from sky-high living costs to climate resilience, digital access, housing shortages, and economic diversification. With over 4,000 islands and vast coastlines home to millions, this comprehensive plan shifts from reactive fixes to proactive investment, aiming to turn the “cost of insularity” into opportunity through infrastructure, green energy, blue carbon initiatives, and smarter urban planning—all to ensure these vital regions thrive and aren’t left behind.
