Climate and Ecological Emergency
Climate change is widespread, rapid and intensifying - and it's down to us to rectify the situation. We need to reach a point where we have reduced emissions by as much as physically possible, and then ensure we absorb the rest through offsetting measures (understood as reaching a 'Net-Zero'). Furthermore, we need to also ensure our economy functions in a circular model as opposed to its current linear form, we cannot extract more from the Earth than what it is capable of producing.
Reaching this point as a city, country and species requires far reaching measures to be undertaken in all aspects of society. As such, Glasgow recognises its role as a city in tackling this existential threat and is committed to creating a low carbon and sustainable city for all.
The recommendations from the Working Group led to the publication of Glasgow's Climate Plan.
