Sustainable
management of resources and the environment requires a fundamental understanding
of the complex interrelationships between ecosystem functions, cycles of
resources, energy consumption, land use and climate change. All these aspects
are challenging fields of research, in which Luxembourg should gain or expand
national expertise. Research in this domain should tackle the environmental
challenges in a holistic, integrative approach that helps to find long-lasting
solutions with the vision of making Luxembourg a showcase for regional
sustainability. Besides the goal to improve the quality of life for the people
living in Luxembourg and
fulfilling the commitment to international processes, such as the Kyoto protocol, economic
opportunities associated with the sustainable management of resources could be
explored.
