Äerdschëff & the SDG
It is possible to achieve the SDGs at the local level. And it is happening here, in Redange.
At Äerdschëff asbl, every project, training course or citizen initiative is designed as a concrete building block towards a more sustainable, fairer and more resilient future.
Our low-tech, circular and cooperative approach is fully in line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the UN — and in particular with 13 of them, which we implement on a daily basis through programmes rooted in the Luxembourg region.

The Citizen Resilience Fund: our framework for action on the SDGs
The Citizen Resilience Fund (FCR), supported by Äerdschëff asbl, is a strategic initiative developed jointly to translate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into concrete citizen actions in Luxembourg.
It is structured around seven areas of ecological and social security – food, housing, education, shared time, imagination, technology and sustainable transport – each linked to several SDGs. This framework enables us to support local initiatives, strengthen collective autonomy and develop reproducible low-tech solutions, in partnership with schools, local authorities and civil society.
