(15a) Like all the funds made available by the Union, the LIFE programme must take into account EU territories with island status, whether or not they are Union overseas territories, as well as the potential associated problems. Various studies show that climate change will have a particularly marked effect on island territories, mainly as a result of the rise in sea and ocean levels. Moreover, in addition to the challenges of rising sea levels the Mediterranean faces acidification due to absorption of the carbon present in the atmosphere, which will also affect island territories.
