How hosting COP26 is cementing Glasgow's green credentials
The spotlight is on Glasgow as the hosts of COP26. What role do cities play in addressing global challenges such as climate change? Susan Aitken, Council Leader for Glasgow City Council, shares how can cities can leverage their events to grow their international reputation, engage citizens in key areas, and generate equitable development for the whole community.
Thanks for joining us, Susan. We wanted to start with COP26. What does it mean for Glasgow to have been selected as the host city? What would be your tip for other cities looking to leverage events to support their own strategies and values?
Our selection as COP26 host is testament to Glasgow’s growing international track record as a city capable of successfully hosting major international events. And it is a reflection of the changed perceptions of Glasgow, a city transformed, an ambitious and innovative centre of the new green economy and one with an enviable record on sustainability.
