This policy brief showcases the new mapping tool developed by the JRC to browse and search for loneliness interventions across the EU. Most interventions identified in the non-exhaustive mapping are implemented by NGOs (37%), followed by local governments (18%), and joint initiatives with several partners (12%). Most interventions specifically target older adults (55%) while only 8% target youth. Given the prevalence of loneliness among youth, there is a need to increase the offer for this age group. Also other risk groups should be considered in interventions. The most common approach of interventions is to connect people (41%) or to provide group and/or social activities (26%) for the participants.
