Luxembourg City has been committed to biodiversity for many years, as part of its constant endeavours to guarantee a high quality of life for all its citizens within its urban setting.

Trees do more than help make urban and residential areas look green and beautiful, they also improve air quality and help cool our streets, public squares and parks on hot summer days thanks to the shade they create and their dense crowns. They also provide an important habitat for many different species of animal.

Did you know? Our capital also has its own city forest covering an area of 1,055 hectares!
