The Glasgow Wetland Carbon Capture Project (GWCCP) will develop urban wetland sites to deliver a host of economic and environmental benefits to some of the most deprived and vulnerable sections of Glasgow. An exciting, Glasgow-based consortium has joined forces to deliver a shared vision of supporting Glasgow's post-Covid19 green recovery. It features: * a pioneering and award-winning agri-tech start-up (Seawater Solutions) * a world-leading international technological university specialising in climate change and sustainability (University of Strathclyde), * a cross-industry group devoted to promoting urban ag-tech as a solution for food and environmental crises (UKUAT). And with Glasgow City Council (GCC) as customer, we have one of the UK's most forward-thinking and ambitious local councils to steer the project to deliver the best outcome for its people, economy, and future security and sustainability. GWCCP's aims appear relatively simple - to turn degraded, redundant or vacant land into thriving urban wetlands. On the surface, GWCCP will deliver: * a natural defence from rising sea levels, flooding, and soil erosion that costs councils millions every year to tackle * increased biodiversity and green space access for local residents and visitors alike, improving residents' wellbeing and encouraging nature to return to urban settings * a Sustainable Start-up Village giving local residents the opportunity to work of the improved land, and utilise the crops being grown (including samphire for consumption and reeds fibres for textiles) * outreach and engagement opportunities for vulnerable communities and local schools and museums to raise awareness of the need to recover in a more sustainable manner. Dig below this beautified wetland surface and you find some extraordinary benefits relevant to the issues faced by Glasgow: * the world's most effective carbon sinks, with each hectare able to capture up to 250 tonnes of carbon and a potential £30,000 on the carbon credit market * a hugely effective soil and water cleaning process, that can transform contaminated soils and waters so that communities and businesses can return and utilise the area. This is all achievable in time for COP26, resulting in a showcase of Glasgow's innovative approach to a greener, fairer, more sustainable recovery, delivered entirely by the people and organisations of Glasgow. Finally, it will develop a model so that council's around the UK and internationally can adopt, helping urban communities to create green jobs and become more involved and passionate about their cities, while in the process helping councils to reach their own environmental, economic and social-cohesion targets.

格拉斯哥湿地碳捕集项目（GWCCP）将开发城市湿地，为格拉斯哥一些最贫困和最脆弱的地区带来一系列经济和环境效益。一个令人兴奋的、总部位于格拉斯哥的财团联合起来，共同致力于支持格拉斯哥在新冠肺炎后的绿色复苏。其特点是：* 一个开创性的和屡获殊荣的农业技术初创企业（海水解决方案）* 一个世界领先的国际技术大学，专门研究气候变化和可持续发展（斯特拉斯克莱德大学），* 一个跨行业的集团，致力于促进城市农业技术作为粮食和环境危机的解决方案（UKUAT）。与格拉斯哥市理事会（GCC）作为客户，我们有一个英国最具前瞻性和雄心勃勃的地方议会来指导该项目，为其人民，经济以及未来的安全和可持续性提供最好的结果。GWCCP的目标似乎相对简单-将退化，多余或空置的土地变成繁荣的城市湿地。从表面上看，GWCCP将提供：* 防止海平面上升、洪水和土壤侵蚀的自然屏障，每年花费数百万美元用于解决 * 增加生物多样性和为当地居民和游客提供绿色空间，改善居民的福祉，鼓励自然回归城市环境 * 可持续创业村，让当地居民有机会在改善的土地上工作，并利用种植的作物（包括供消费的海蓬子和用于纺织品的芦苇纤维）* 为弱势社区、当地学校和博物馆提供外联和参与机会，以提高人们对以更可持续的方式恢复的必要性的认识。在这片被美化的湿地表面下挖掘，你会发现一些与格拉斯哥所面临的问题相关的非凡好处：* 世界上最有效的碳汇，每公顷能够捕获高达250吨的碳，在碳信用市场上的潜在价值为30，000英镑 * 一个非常有效的土壤和水清洁过程，这可以改变被污染的土壤和沃茨，使社区和企业能够返回并利用该地区。这一切都可以在COP 26之前实现，从而展示了格拉斯哥的创新方法，以实现更绿色，更公平，更可持续的复苏，完全由格拉斯哥的人民和组织提供。最后，它将开发一个模型，以便英国和国际上的理事会可以采用，帮助城市社区创造绿色就业机会，并更多地参与和热爱他们的城市，同时在这个过程中帮助理事会实现自己的环境，经济和社会凝聚力目标。
