Presentation of the first results of “Mediterranean 2030” consortium at the Mediterranean Talks
Published : Tuesday 25 May 2010
A document, realized for the Heads of State and Government of the UfM, proposes a global vision of the region by pointing out the Euro-Mediterranean complementarities (demographic synergie, natural resources, values) as well as the challenges it faces (energy, food crisis, migratory). Finally, it proposes three scenarios and nine concrete propositions in order to achieve a more integrated region, with a high convergence dynamics :
- The marginalization scenario : a convergence through the bottom, if current trends are pursued.
- The divergence scenario: a disparate insertion in the world economy, a more threatening scenario than the marginalization one.
- The scenario of convergence through the top, which requires a voluntarist political action shared by all the actors of the Mediterranean region.
