A Scottish city has been named one of the world's 'standout cities' when it comes to protecting the environment and tackling climate change.
The list, which was based on the Global Destination Sustainability Index, featured locations across the globe, including Gothenburg in Sweden and Bordeaux in France.Travel said:"With time running out to keep global temperature to a 1.5C rise – above which, experts warn, consequences could include far hotter days, higher sea-levels and loss of nearly all the world's coral reefs – implementing solutions for a more sustainable, lower-carbon future is key.
Kathi Kamleitner, who moved to Glasgow from Vienna 10 years ago, said that the city had made great strides in recent years to become more sustainable. She said: "The execution wasn't always the best. Sometimes it felt a bit like they got someone to build a bike path who doesn't actually ride a bike. She concluded:"I see a lot of social enterprises and a lot of businesses really pursuing that sustainability aspect, and making it easier to meet more sustainable choices," adding:"And that's certainly something I've seen in Glasgow – more maybe than even in some of the other cities I've lived in."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
