This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Stephen Docherty:- "Council notes that in 2019, Glasgow City Council declared a climate emergency and committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030. However, five years on, Council highlights reports indicating that the city is on course to miss this target, with current projections showing only a 73.8% reduction by 2030, far short of the 100% goal. Council further notes that Glasgow has reduced territorial carbon dioxide emissions by 46% since 2005, largely due to UK electricity grid decarbonisation, over which the Council has no control. In areas where local policy has greater influence, progress has been slower, with transport-sector emissions falling by only 19% between 2005-2021 - the smallest reduction among major sectors. Council believes that after five years, Glasgow should be far further ahead in cutting emissions in sectors it can directly influence. Council notes that the current approach lacks a fully funded, timebound delivery plan with clear annual milestones to meet the 2030 target. Council notes that Glasgow's household recycling rate was just 27.2%, as reported to the Operational Scrutiny Committee on 4 June 2025. This is significantly below both the Scottish national average of 43.5% and the Scottish Government's target of 70% by 2025, making Glasgow one of the poorest performing local authorities in Scotland for recycling. Despite national progress, Glasgow's rates have remained in the low 20% range for several years, indicating systemic issues that require urgent attention and reform. Council further notes that persistent issues such as missed bin collections, fly-tipping, and contamination continue to undermine public confidence and environmental outcomes. Council further believes that climate action must be delivered fairly, ensuring benefits for all communities, particularly those in fuel poverty, through lower bills, warmer homes and cleaner air. Council therefore resolves to: 1. Ask the City Administration to present to Full Council, or the appropriate committee for approval, within six months, a credible, fully costed and timebound Net-Zero delivery plan with: - Sector-by-sector milestones and annual targets for reducing emissions in transport, buildings and waste. - A costed programme for large-scale retrofitting and rapid roll-out of low-carbon heating. - Measures to address underperformance in reducing emissions. 2. Encourage the Leader of the Council to write to the Scottish Government seeking the necessary funding and legislative powers required to deliver these actions, and to report the Governments response to Full Council or the relevant committee within three months of receipt. 3. Establish a cross-party Climate Delivery Review Group, reporting to the most appropriate committee every six months to monitor progress and recommend delivery action.".
