Sustainability efforts

Every effort is being made to make the LPP a green event, with measures in place to minimise and offset its carbon footprint, reduce waste and avoid the use of environmentally damaging plastic.

To access the ECCL Historical Hemicycle via public transport, the closest stop is “Philharmonie” on the tram. Walk then across to rue Fort Thüngen.

We use a hybrid car for picking up our Laureates. We encourage attendees to carbon offset their travel.

On arrival in Luxembourg attendees are recommended to use local transport where possible. LPP will not be producing give-aways or providing attendee bags. The program information will be available through the website and on digital signage. Any newly printed materials will be on recycled paper.
