Nature Pact
With the Nature Pact, the commune of Mamer makes a commitment:
The Nature Pact is a contract that the commune of Mamer entered into with the State of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the economic interest grouping Klima-Agence, in which it has actively participated ever since. The contract, signed on December the 10th 2021 by the municipality of Mamer, has a duration ending on December the 31st 2030.
Like the Climate Pact, the Nature Pact is an instrument designed to promote municipal initiatives aimed at preserving and restoring biodiversity.
Local authorities are important partners of the State in the protection of nature and natural resources. Through their political decisions, they can make a significant contribution to improving the biodiversity situation and providing ecosystem services.
In fact, local authorities have around 13% of the national territory where actions to promote biodiversity have taken place or could take place.
The basic principle of the Nature Pact:
The Nature Pact offers municipalities wishing to actively combat the loss of biodiversity the opportunity to apply for State support.
By joining the pact, municipalities commit to implementing the measures listed in the Nature Pact’s catalog of measures. The catalog includes nature conservation measures in the following areas: “development and implementation of a comprehensive strategy,” “urban environments,” “open landscapes,” “aquatic environments,” “forest environments,” and “communication and cooperation.”
Commitment and certification of municipalities:
The Nature Pact also provides for a system of certifications, similar to that of the Climate Pact, with four levels of performance: “basic certification” (40%), “bronze” (50%), “silver” (60%) and “gold” (70%).
In order to determine whether a municipality is entitled to the “Pacte Nature” certification and to calculate the amount of the subsidy, the municipality’s level of performance in relation to the measures implemented is assessed according to the catalogue of measures.
The Nature team:
The Pacte Nature team is led by a Pacte Nature advisor who meets at regular intervals to advise municipal authorities on the implementation of the Pacte Nature.
