This legislation establishes a “pacte nature” with municipalities in Luxembourg to enhance nature protection efforts. It focuses on preserving and restoring protected sources, increasing communal forest areas, and conserving biotope trees. The law outlines a point-based system for evaluating environmental measures, limiting the total points to 300 across various categories.
One key aspect is the allocation of subsidies for nature protection programs and the certification of municipalities under the “pacte nature.” The law emphasises the importance of sustainable management of natural resources and the promotion of biodiversity conservation. It also mandates the appointment of external advisors with specific qualifications to support municipalities in implementing the “pacte nature.”
Furthermore, the legislation encourages the development of long-term strategies for nature conservation and climate adaptation. It incentivizes communities to engage in activities such as scientific monitoring, forest management, and habitat restoration. By providing financial support and guidance, the “pacte nature” aims to foster a collaborative approach to environmental stewardship among municipalities in Luxembourg.
Overall, this legislation marks a significant step towards strengthening environmental initiatives and promoting sustainable practices in heritage conservation. It underscores the importance of local engagement and proactive measures to safeguard natural ecosystems and cultural landscapes for future generations.
