How is the council using the money raised?

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.

This will include sustainable energy projects, supporting the installation of solar panels across a number of council sites to reduce annual energy costs.

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.
