Glasgow City Council’s Post

So exciting! This is an infrastructure intervention which will have enormous impact.

An international panel of traffic engineers were part of a BBC program ’joy and sorrow of roads’ which was recently replayed on RNZ. Aside from an interesting history of road building, the message was clear. In industrialised countries we should be past our phase of building expensive new roads which will be increasingly costly to maintain with climate change. We should instead be focussing on maintaining existing ones and investing in modeshift to public transport. https://lnkd.in/gcGnqypm

This is massive news. I am passionate about our heritage buildings but there is something very wrong with the system when safeguarding old buildings is deemed more important than protecting the occupants and the wider environment. Common sense has prevailed and we will now see far more pragmatic solutions. Bear in mind electricity, toilet facilities, boilers/heating and other modern day necessities weren't appropriate to most heritage properties and yet they have been adapted to accommodate them without destroying their charm and character. Buildings will always need to adapt. Indeed, climate adaptation and resilience requires modern solutions including many, like solar panels, which can be deemed temporary fixtures because when we get to a fully decarbonised grid we may not need all these measures in perpetuity. Thanks for sharing Jan. This is much appreciated as a progressive step in net zero strategies for domestic and non-domestic buildings.

🖥 Today our Policy Manager Greg Lydka Morris joined dClimate's Chamss Ould, along with ALLCOT's Mercedes García Madero and Mirova's Charlotte Lehmann, to discuss how the Paris Agreement and the perceived need for global governance and regulation are influencing voluntary carbon initiatives and natural capital.
