By Councillor Corbett – Green Recovery

“Council

1)       Welcomes the work by Edinburgh Climate Commission to develop an Edinburgh Green Recovery plan from the Coronavirus pandemic which also aligns with the council’s 2030 zero carbon commitment.

2)       Agrees that this work should be integrated within the Adaptation and Renewal Programme for the city.

3)       Recognises that the £1.33 billion City Region Deal was developed to deal with a very different set of circumstances than those facing Edinburgh in 2020.

4)       Recognises that those changed circumstances equally affect regional partners and the business and university sectors.

5)       Therefore also agrees that the Council Leader should seek agreement with City Region Deal partners to present an updated prospectus to the Scottish and UK Governments which is consistent with recovery plans and the city’s 2030 zero carbon target.”
