… 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. The CMP3 will include a strong programme of retrofitting energy efficiency…

These strategies include: • The Carbon Management Plan (CMP3), which will set out how the city ’s own estate can contribute to the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2030, • The city’s first Local Heat…

… locked-in. In order to achieve our ambitious carbon reduction targets, building adaptive capacity to climate change, addressing biodiversity decline, and bringing about a green economic recovery from Covid-19, bold leadership and substantial investment is required. We must acknowledge openly that our current momentum, though laudable, will not result in sufficient action to ameliorate…

… partners will invest in low- carbon infrastructure that will be future and climate- proof, providing good-quality, low-carbon and affordable housing and energy. We will work to reduce our emission footprint via a series of building rationalisation and retrofitting measures, which will see carbon reductions in the order of 50% from current levels. Thereafter larger-scale, bespoke actions…

To achieve the level of change that is required to respond…
