Social Sciences - Environment & Ecology / The environment
French term or phrase: difficultés d’accès aux activités
In context:

la notion qui intègre dans une approche transversale les sphères économique, sociétale et environnementale, cherche notamment à répondre aux problèmes posés par :

 Les changements climatiques ;
 Les pollutions de l’air, de l’eau et du sol ;
 La limitation des ressources naturelles et des énergies ;
 Les extinctions massives d’espèces et la réduction de la biodiversité ;
 La dégradation de la qualité des différents cadres de vie ;
 Les difficultés d’accès aux ressources, aux activités et aux services ;
 Les inégalités sociales et territoriales.

It's actually the word 'activités that I'm looking for a translation for. What does it mean in this context?
Thanks
