Abstract :
[en] The RISK2050 study is an effort to better understand the vulnerability of Luxembourg’s economy to physical environmental risks. It was commissioned by Luxembourg Strategy in 2022 and was undertaken by an interdisciplinary consortium of researchers at the University of Luxembourg.
Economic productivity is exposed to environmental threats caused by overshooting ecosystem limits and the resulting climate change, resource scarcity and biodiversity loss. This report explores the impact of these hazards on six economic sectors in Luxembourg: four productive - Industrial Manufacturing, Construction, Forestry and Food processing; and two supportive – Energy and Logistics.
