Forest fires in Luxembourg

Forest fires have risen sharply in recent years as a result of climate change. DP Members of Parliament André Bauler and Luc Emering asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity and the Minister for Home Affairs how the number of forest fires has changed over the last 10 years, which areas are most affected, how often the CGDIS has had to intervene and what preventive measures have been taken to raise awareness on the problem.

Question:

„Duerch déi klimatesch Verännerungen aus de leschte Joren huet d’Zuel vun de Bëschbränn zougeholl. Besonnesch am séier dréchene Joer 2018 koum et am Éislek zu verschiddene Bränn a Bëscher. Och wann et dee leschte Summer an dësem Beräich zimmlech roueg war, muss een dach awer fäerten, datt sech dës Problematik am Kader vun der Klimakris an Zukunft verstäerke wäert.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir Ëmwelt, Klima a Biodiversitéit an dem Här Inneminister follgend Froe stellen:

  1. Wéi huet sech d’Zuel vun de Bëschbränn an de leschten 10 Joer entwéckelt?
  2. Wat fir Plazen a Géigende vum Land waren am meeschte betraff?
  3. Wéi dacks huet de CGDIS missen an den Asaz fir dës Bränn nees ënner Kontroll ze kréien? A wéiville Fäll ware mënschleche Feeler Schold un dëse Bränn?
  4. Wat fir präventiv Moossnamen si mëttlerweil geholl gi fir de grousse Public méi an d’Flicht zehuelen a fir dës Problematik ze sensibiliséieren?“
