…, this will mean the carbon emissions are balanced. Restoring the balance to the natural carbon cycle. It is worth clarifying that working towards this net zero carbon target therefore requires the city to significantly reduce carbon emissions whilst working to implement measures to capture (or sequester) residual emissions. To achieve the level of change that is required to respond…

… emissions by approximately 27,000 tCO2 - which will see the city ’s footprint reduced by 55% compared to its 2005/06 baseline. The new Carbon Management Plan (CMP3) aims to address the city ’s direct carbon emissions and will commit Glasgow City Council as an organisation to achieve the 2030 net zero carbon target.

… for Glasgow the scope, scale, and intensity of delivery of projects to set Glasgow on course to achieving its net zero carbon goal for 2030. The most recent data (2018) for city emissions highlights that our total area wide emissions 2,591 kilo-tonnes (ktCO2). This represents a 37 % reduction on the city’s baseline data (2006) and the total emissions which will have to be mitigated…
