Abstract
Last year, Glasgow City Council adopted a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. This ambitious target sees it aim for net-zero 15 years before the Scottish Government target date and 20 years before the UK as a whole. Emissions in the city have been falling in recent years, and the city has a number of strategies to reach this target. However, transport emissions are only falling slowly, car journeys are on the rise and public transport is a shrinking sector.
