Delivering real green projects
Glasgow Green Investment is helping deliver a greener future across the city.
Funding projects to create a greener city
Glasgow City Council will use the money raised to fund interventions in the city to help fight against the present and future impacts of climate change.
In the first phase they will be funding sustainable energy projects, supporting the installation of solar panels across a number of council sites to reduce annual energy costs. It will then be focussing on Localised Liveable Neighbourhood Interventions which is part of the Council’s approach to deliver upon the current City Development Plan. This aims to help unlock a step change for Glasgow in how people and goods move around the city, in the design of our streets and public spaces, and in encouraging more sustainable and active travel choices.
All investments from Glasgow City Council are compliant with the Green Loan Principles - internationally recognised standards that are also used by the UK Government for its green investments products. They require that the money invested can only be used to fund eligible green projects.
