Health and Environment Scorecard Summary: Luxembourg

Air Pollution

Luxembourg has poor compliance with WHO air quality guidelines, with an annual mean PM2.5 level of 9 μg/m³ below the guideline. This contributes to health impacts, including strokes and ischemic heart disease, but data is insufficient for full assessment.

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)

Sufficient funding for national plans is low at 18%. Access to safely managed drinking water and sanitation services has insufficient data, and there are challenges in providing these services to the population.

Climate Change

Luxembourg faces high emissions under the RCP8.5 scenario. National assessments and adaptation plans for climate vulnerability exist, but data on climate resilience and co-benefits is insufficient.

Chemicals and Radiation

Insufficient data for a comprehensive assessment. IHR capacity for chemical events was 60%, but lead paint limits and poison center availability are noted. Radiation IHR capacity is 60%, but data on skin cancers and radon regulations lacks completeness.

Occupational Health

Roughly 2% of key labor conventions on occupational safety and health are ratified. Informal employment poses risks, but data on injuries and disease due to occupational factors is limited.

Health Care Facilities

Health care facilities often lack basic services, reliable electricity, WASH, and proper waste management. Insufficient data on environmental sustainability and climate resilience assessments make evaluation incomplete.

Overall, the scorecard highlights significant challenges in air pollution, WASH, climate change, and policy implementation, with many areas marked by data gaps, and is based on existing data sources.
