Abstract

In 2023, the Ministry of Spatial Planning in Luxembourg has initiated a project named «Green Belt» with the aim of developing climate resilience. The project’s strategy involves the delineation and cartography of a life-sustaining network encircling the city of Luxembourg. The aim is to identify and shield critical ecological elements that are required for climate change adaptation and mitigation from escalating pressures and further decline. The project’s recommendations highlight entry points for fostering regenerative efforts and instigating pioneering initiatives strategically positioned within these areas of ecological importance.
