This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Molyneux:- "Council believes that the recent catastrophic fires in Australia and floods in Indonesia are yet more evidence of the devastating impacts of climate breakdown. Council expresses its distress at the loss of human, animal and plant life, which serve as a reminder of the inextricable link between climate change and the destruction of nature, and extends its solidarity to all those who are suffering as a result. Council notes that the COP25 summit held in Madrid ended in widespread disappointment at the lack of action on key parts of the Paris Agreement. The outcomes of COP26 in Glasgow later this year must ensure that 2020 is the tipping point in the world's response to the United Nations' IPCC and IPBES reports, which offer a 10-year window within which a just transition must take place. Council therefore reiterates its expectation that COP26 must deliver a comprehensive and ambitious programme of action to decarbonise the global economy as quickly as possible. Council notes that, with the relocation of COP25 from Chile to Spain, Glasgow will be the fourth COP in a row to be held in the global north and believes that the voices of those in the global south, who are currently most affected by climate change and ecological devastation, must be prioritised ahead of richer nations and corporations in the global north, to bring the process back to life. Council also resolves to do all it can to ensure that Glasgow provides an inclusive, credible and dynamic platform for COP26 and uses the opportunity of being the host city to catalyse its own action on reducing emissions. Specifically, Council agrees to: a. instruct the Leader of the Council to write to the Heads of State of each participating nation in COP26, setting out Glasgow's clear expectations of the progress which must be made; b. instruct the Chief Executive to write to the UK Government, in its role as lead organiser for COP26, to ensure that voices of those in the global south are prioritised, including by ensuring adequate visa arrangements for representatives of indigenous and marginalised groups and other experts and activists from the global south to travel to COP26; c. instruct the Leader of the Council to write to the UK and Scottish Governments to ensure that climate action is prioritised in their spending and legislative plans, so that Glasgow has the funding and powers it needs to implement its climate and ecological emergency action plans in partnership with neighbouring authorities, public, private and third sector partners, and local communities; d. work with partners to maximise sustainability in the delivery of COP26, for example by exploring options for free public transport, free bike use, restrictions on the use of petrol or diesel vehicles, committing to making 'last mile' journeys by active travel, utilisation of circular economy business models, and sustainable food procurement and provision; e. work in partnership with the emerging Scottish civil society coalition around COP26 in the development and delivery of all aspects of the event, including making sure that the voices of those communities most affected (and most likely to be affected) by climate change here and in the global south are heard directly and a legacy of connection and solidarity is built; and f. ensure that Glasgow's schools are supported to engage with COP 26 and that their capacity to deliver Learning for Sustainability, which enables pupils to explore and act on the issues underpinning the climate and ecological emergencies, is enhanced.".
