Glasgow launches £30bn ‘Greenprint for Investment’

28 Sep 2021

Glasgow City Council has launched its ' Greenprint for Investment', a portfolio of investment projects designed to significantly boost the city's target to reach Net-Zero by 2030.

The scale and diversity of the projects reflects Glasgow's global sustainability ambitions and provides international and activist investors with a mix of decarbonising and transformative development opportunities, alongside more traditional robust, investor-ready propositions.
·   The 'Greenprint for Investment' prospectus spans £30bn of investments and place-based development opportunities, as it invites international investment in the run up to COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference.
·   There is a mix of market-ready opportunities for private capital and radical "unlock and scale" projects, developed to appeal to investors seeking co-design and longer-term economic partnerships.
·   The prospectus is key to the city's 2030 target for a Net-Zero Economy, Climate Resilience and a Just Transition for the Glasgow City Region.
·   Projects include scaling up the Clyde Climate Forest by 9,000 hectares, a Glasgow Metro connecting the city region, a city-wide retrofit programme to make all homes energy efficient and provide new clean energy sources, and a proposal to power district heating systems using the River Clyde - all of which will contribute to Scottish targets.
