By Sarah Baillie IN November, the world s eyes will be on Glasgow as it hosts as it hosts COP26. With the Scottish Government s Programme for Government having a green economic focus at its heart, decision-makers in Glasgow have also been making long-standing changes to help support net zero ambitions. In 2019 Glasgow City Council (GCC) set up a Climate Emergency Working Group, subsequently declaring a climate emergency in the city. It produced an independent report making 61 recommendations, with a target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. The Council has been building on this by seeking views from local organisations, businesses, and communities on the Climate Change Implementation Plan, in an attempt to galvanise support in its delivery.
