What is the “do no harm” selection approach?

To enable LuxDev on the one hand to identify the potential risks of implementing a solution, and on the other hand to develop, in collaboration with the selected companies, mitigation strategies, the shortlisted projects will be analyzed using the following warning criteria:

•   habitat/ecosystem/forest modification (reduction, degradation, change) as well as any change in aquatic resources.
•   introduction of invasive species.
•   land degradation.
•   production chains linked to livestock, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, wood, rubber, charcoal and paper products.
•   increase in environmental pollution, particularly hazardous waste, energy requirements, use of water resources.
• change in land rights/access and community protection.
