This is the list of documents available for the submission Motion by Councillor Stephen Docherty:- "Council acknowledges the importance of reducing emissions as a crucial step in addressing the climate emergency, thereby ensuring a sustainable Scotland for future generations. Council notes that achieving the Scottish Governments 2030 Net Zero target would bring numerous benefits to Glasgow, such as improved air quality, enhanced public health, job creation in renewable energy sectors and opportunities for economic growth. Council recognises many of the positive steps Glasgow has taken to combat the ongoing climate emergency, but notes more action and investment is still required. Council acknowledges that insufficient funding for renewable projects is one of the biggest barriers Glasgow faces in the fight against the climate emergency. Council expresses its deep concern that the Climate Change Committee has suggested that the Scottish Governments target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75% is beyond achievable. This failure will have adverse impacts on the people of Glasgow, and Scotland as a whole. Council acknowledges that this failure will lead to heightened climate change impacts, economic instability, and the erosion of Scotland's reputation as a global leader in climate action. Council encourages the Leader of the Council to urge the Scottish Government to reassess its climate policies and take bold, decisive action to address the barriers hindering progress towards Scotland's Net Zero 2030 target. Council also asks that the Leader of the Council liaises with the relevant Minister to seek increased investment in renewable energy infrastructure. Council expresses is strong support for local initiatives and partnerships aimed at reducing emissions and promoting sustainability within Glasgow. In our Local Government 2022 Manifesto, Glasgow Labour committed to: - Plans for an integrated and affordable public transport, which would encourage more people to travel via public transport. - To support local, renewable energy projects and cooperatives. - Help build community heat networks with all new social housing where possible. - Reduce emissions across council infrastructure, by ensuring new and existing council buildings are energy efficient - Install zero carbon heating systems such as heat pumps and biomass boilers. Council emphasises the urgent need for decisive action to mitigate the climate crisis, protect vulnerable communities and secure a sustainable future for Scotland." .
