Based on the previous experiences of the first Climate Pact and taking into account the objectives of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNEC), the law of 25 June 2021 creates Climate Pact 2.0.

Three areas of development have been identified and strengthened:
The Climate Pact 2.0 is supported by the Ministry for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, which has appointed Klima-Agence, the energy and climate skills centre, to manage the project and provide technical assistance.

The 100 municipalities of luxembourg are committed. Their level of involvement varies: 17 of them have achieved 75% implementation of the measures, 16 have a rate of 60%, 35 50%, three 40% and the others have just committed themselves (https://www.pacteclimat.lu/fr/acteur-engage/communes).
