Luxembourg Signs the U.S.-led Global Net-Zero Government Initiative Agreement

At the signing ceremony, students from Luxembourg schools demonstrated the initiative’s lasting impact on future generations by presenting their ideas to enhance cooperation between the United States and Luxembourg in the ongoing battle against the climate crisis.

It is with great conviction that we join the U.S.-led Global Net Zero Government Initiative. Governments, as well as local authorities, need to set an example and be a driving force in decarbonizing our societies – Serge Wilmes, Minister of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity.

“Luxembourg signing onto the U.S.-led Global Net Zero Government Initiative marks a significant milestone in our collective journey towards a more sustainable future and represents a commitment to safeguarding the future of our planet for all generations. It was essential to include younger generations in the signing ceremony because the active engagement and fervent dedication of young people are crucial in our joint efforts to combat climate change,” said the U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg, Tom Barrett.

Serge Wilmes, Minister of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, also emphasized: “The Luxembourg government has already set itself the goal of making its public administration carbon neutral. It is therefore with great conviction that we join the United States’ initiative. Governments, as well as local authorities, need to set an example and be a driving force in decarbonizing our societies.”
