Biodiversity Action Lab
Creation of a joint commitment by Luxembourg businesses to protect, preserve and restore biodiversity
Initiative phase: Waiting for funding/approvalBiodiversity and its ecosystems are essential to the proper functioning and sustainability of businesses. It is therefore important for them to take action to protect or restore it. By launching the Biodiversity Action Lab, we have enabled a working group of companies of different sizes and from different sectors to take part in raising awareness and taking action.
Awareness-raising workshops and discussions with experts, support and sharing of best practice, qualitative interviews - these are just a few examples of what we were able to achieve with the group over the course of a year.
