Submission Documents: By Councillor Martha Wardrop:- "Council notes the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report which provides a stark account of the catastrophic environmental breakdown we can expect if global mean surface temperature increases by more than 1.5C compared with pre-industrial levels. Council notes the report concludes that we have only 12 years to prevent climate breakdown and therefore believes that there is an overwhelming need for radical, urgent and systemic action at local, national and international levels. Council recognises that in Glasgow and across Scotland, there has been progress made to reduce emissions, but there are also areas such as transport, agriculture and renewable heat where urgent action is necessary. Council therefore agrees to support the strongest possible commitments in the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Bill, including a target for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. Council further agrees to inject fresh urgency and impetus into its own emissions reduction efforts, including supporting the review of its energy and carbon masterplan and ensuring full implementation of its energy policy across all services."
