Glasgow officially signs Circular Cities Declaration
Glasgow has become the first city in the UK to sign the Circular Cities Declaration, recognising the city as one of the leading European cities working in the circular economy.
By signing the declaration, which was developed by ICLEI Europe in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Glasgow will become a member of a unified network of over 50 cities across Europe, working together to raise awareness of the environmental, economic and social benefits of the circular economy.
Anna Richardson, City Convenor for Sustainability and Carbon Reduction, said: "I'm delighted to sign the Circular Cities Declaration, which commits to Glasgow's transition from a linear to a circular economy. Over the last month, Glasgow City Council, have taken major steps as we look towards net-zero carbon by 2030. The Glasgow Climate Plan was unanimously approved at Committee, and we launched the new business charter and website alongside our Sustainable Glasgow partners."
The network also includes leading strategic partners in the United Nations Environment Programme, European Investment Bank (EIB), Circle Economy and Metabolic.
