Glasgow among 'top performing councils' for climate change action
The local authority is now ranked 10th in the country in an assessment from Climate Emergency UK with the London Borough of Islington topping the chart. Glasgow also achieved an A rating from the global Carbon Disclosure Project, which measures environmental impact. Councillor Lana Reid-McConnell raised the council's 'improved ranking' in the Council Climate Action Scorecard at a meeting – asking for the city's environment convenor to comment on it.

'In the latest 2025 Climate Action Scorecard Assessment conducted by Climate Emergency UK, Glasgow received a score of 64% – a 9% increase on last year. This places us in joint first position in Scotland alongside Edinburgh and among the top performing councils across the UK.' Speaking at a recent full council meeting, the SNP local politician said Glasgow is one of only 62 councils UK-wide (out of 391) to score above 50%. There is an average score of 38%. Councillor Millar added: 'This recognition follows closely on the heels of Glasgow receiving an A rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) confirming our leadership in both climate mitigation and adaptation. We are now just one of 112 global cities on the CDP's A list – placing us in the top 15 per cent of nearly 1,000 reporting cities worldwide.' Councillor Millar continued: 'These achievements are testament to the hard work and dedication of our teams and partners across the city. While we will continue to review and respond to the scorecard's findings this result clearly demonstrates that Glasgow is making strong and measurable progress in tackling the climate and ecological emergency.'
