Petitions to the Chamber of Deputies

OBJECT : We call for the creation of a legal framework allowing responsible bivouacking in Luxembourg under strict conditions respecting nature and following the "Leave No Trace" principle. Bivouacking differs from traditional wild camping: it is a light, temporary and discreet overnight stay in nature, generally limited to one night, between sunset and sunrise, without permanent installations or long-term occupation of the area. This practice is mainly used by hikers, cyclists, trekkers and outdoor travelers wishing to spend a night in nature while respecting the environment. The aim of this petition is not to authorize permanent or uncontrolled wild camping, but to allow a reasonable, discreet and responsible use of natural areas. We specifically propose: * authorization limited to one night in the same location; * a strict obligation to leave no waste behind; * prohibition of open fires; * full respect for private property, wildlife and flora; * prohibition in sensitive natural or protected areas; * use of lightweight and discreet equipment only. Several European countries already apply similar regulations successfully, balancing environmental protection with responsible access to nature. This measure would help: * promote sustainable tourism; * encourage outdoor and nature-based activities; * strengthen environmental awareness; * support a responsible and regulated outdoor culture in Luxembourg.

OBJECT : Permettre aux commerçants, employés de caisse, travailleurs de stations-service, pharmacies, boulangeries, commerces de proximité et autres professions exposées au public de pouvoir détenir et utiliser légalement un spray de défense non létal de type gel ou gaz lacrymogène exclusivement en cas d'agression, de menace grave ou de danger immédiat.

OBJECT : In the current context of geopolitical instability and energy shocks-particularly linked to the war in Iran and disruptions in energy markets-Luxembourg must strengthen its energy resilience by accelerating the uptake of efficient, low-carbon heating solutions such as heat pumps. We request that, solely for access to subsidies/financial support (Klimabonus) related to heat pumps, the current acoustic control method be adapted: the 40 dB(A) threshold would be maintained, but the assessment would be carried out at the relevant immission point (at the window closest to a noise-sensitive room at the neighbour's dwelling) rather than at the property boundary.
