This is the list of documents available for the submission Emergency Motion by Councillor Susan Aitken:- "Council notes the announcement earlier this week that Glasgow is set to be the host city of COP26, the UN climate change conference, in 2020. This decision will be ratified at COP25 in Santiago, Chile in December. Council considers this to be a tremendous honour for the city, and notes that the event is the largest and most complex event to ever be held in Scotland, with an anticipated 22,500 delegates from 170 states, including many Heads of State. Council notes the reasons for Glasgow being chosen as a host city included: our world class reputation as a place to host events; the recognised progressive record of the Council on reducing emissions; the world-leading targets and achievements to date of the Scottish Government; and the city's logistics, including a world-class venue in the Scottish Events Campus and the high quality accommodation available across the city region. Council considers that our hosting of COP26 will not only provide an opportunity for Glasgow to showcase innovation in carbon reduction, but also provide momentum towards reaching our ambitious net zero targets. Council congratulates the Scottish Event Campus and the Glasgow Convention Bureau for its role in securing this conference, which is expected to bring tens of millions of pounds in to the city economy, and instructs the Chief Executive to update elected members through the appropriate committee of progress in planning for the event.".
