Cross-cutting issues

In line with its multilateral commitments, and in order to contribute to the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, Luxembourg has decided to increase its financial support for the working axes of the ACT-A Accelerator, in particular for COVAX, the vaccine working axis, led by Gavi, through a financial contribution of EUR 4 million to its market commitment instrument.

The major global environmental changes, and in particular climate change, loss of biodiversity and desertification, are adversely impacting the human and natural systems on which human well-being and economic activities are based.

As one of the few countries to have adopted a feminist foreign policy, Luxembourg consistently supports and defends the rights and dignity of each gender identity in the various multilateral fora. With this in mind, Luxembourg Development Cooperation continues to be firmly committed to combating all forms of persistent discrimination and inequalities.

The fight against poverty (the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 1) and the main objective of Luxembourg Development Cooperation) goes hand in hand with support for the development of rights-based and equal opportunities environments, so that each individual can freely determine the course of his or her existence.
