Councillor Lana Reid-McConnell is expected to present a motion at full council this week urging the both governments to ensure the city has the proper finances and powers needed to help reduce emissions.
Green councillors are calling on the Scottish and UK governments for more funding to be provided to Glasgow to help the local authority meet its net zero targets by 2030.
The Victoria Park ward councillor now wants to see investment zones in the city region, supporting Glasgow’s move to net zero while helping to transition energy infrastructure and other industries including sustainable fashion. Her motion reads: “The council notes the recent announcement by the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of plans to issue hundreds of new oil and gas licences in order to 'max out' North Sea reserves and that this is likely to include the massive Rosebank field.
“Council believes that there is no credible policy justification for these actions, either for climate, jobs or energy security, and instead believes it is part of a conscious decision on behalf of the Conservative Party to seek to exploit the environment as a wedge issue in the misplaced belief it will provide them with short-term electoral gain.
