📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity announces the launch of the public consultation relating to the National Nature Restoration Plan (PNR), developed as part of the implementation of the European regulation[1] on nature restoration. This regulation is a central part of the European Green Deal and aims to restore degraded ecosystems across the European Union. A response to current ecological challenges Restoring nature means protecting our future: healthy ecosystems help us cope with climate change, improve our quality of life and guarantee essential resources such as clean water and sustainable food. The European regulation sets ambitious targets: by 2030, restoration measures must cover at least 20% of EU lands and seas, by 2050, all ecosystems requiring restoration must be subject to appropriate measures. The PNR translates European obligations into concrete actions adapted to the national context. It defines the priorities, the areas concerned and the measures necessary to strengthen biodiversity, improve ecological connectivity, restore natural environments and increase Luxembourgs ecological resilience. A holistic and transversal approach The restoration of nature has a transversal character. Forestry, agricultural, aquatic, urban ecosystems and habitats of protected species are interconnected and directly influence quality of life, climate resilience and the availability of natural resources. The restoration of nature can only succeed if it is carried out collectively. The PNR offers a clear framework, but its implementation will depend on the commitment of everyone: municipalities, economic sector, associations, land managers, private owners and citizens. Public consultation is an essential step, because it makes it possible to integrate knowledge from the field, the needs of local stakeholders and the expectations of society. Together, we can build an ambitious, realistic plan adapted to the specificities of the country, underlines Minister Serge Wilmes. The measures envisaged cover a wide range of actions, such as the renaturation of watercourses, the restoration of degraded forests, the creation of habitats favorable to pollinators, sustainable soil management, or even the development of green infrastructure in urban areas. Public consultation The draft National Nature Restoration Plan, developed in collaboration with the ministries and administrations concerned, is now subject to public consultation. This approach aims to integrate the contributions of citizens, municipalities, professional organizations, NGOs and all stakeholders. The consultation takes place as follows: Online public inquiry on zesumme-vereinfachen.lu from March 25 to May 5, 2026; Thematic working groups and regional workshops bringing together public and private stakeholders to discuss priorities, territorial issues and proposed measures. Registration for the workshops can be done via the platform (zesumme-vereinfachen.lu), where additional information is also available.
