Delivering a Climate Resilient City through City-University Partnership: Glasgow as a Living Lab Accelerating Novel Transformation (GALLANT)

GALLANT的愿景是为城市规模的公正和可持续转型开发整体系统解决方案。企业和政治领导人承诺在当地和全球范围内实现碳中和，但往往没有详细的战略或协调。当我们需要快速、有效的转换时，这可能会导致延迟和次优结果。城市越来越被视为碳中和未来的驱动因素（例如，碳中和城市联盟），因为通过共享政策和知识交流，一个城市的成功行动有可能被其他城市采用，从而创造可扩展和快速的变化。格拉斯哥是引领创新的模范城市，因为它有英国最雄心勃勃的2030年碳中和目标；具有挑战性的社会和环境不平等，需要从拟议的解决方案中共同受益；并将于2021年主办COP26。要做出有意义的、持久的改变，就需要对环境做出承诺，将可持续性贯穿于重大政策决策之中，并使社区成为当地的管理者。在GALLANT中，我们寻求与当地合作伙伴和社区合作，将城市转变为人类和自然的繁荣之地。我们的首要目标是实施以系统为基础的科学方法来解决五个环境问题，这将加快格拉斯哥适应和管理气候变化的能力。该方法整合了自然科学和社会科学学科，将数据置于决策的核心。我们将创建格拉斯哥生活实验室，提供一个可以随时部署的框架，以解决新出现的环境问题，展示学术、公共和私营部门如何共同行动以取得进步。我们与格拉斯哥市议会优先考虑的五个环境解决方案是：致力于改变城市河滨土地利用治理，创造功能性洪泛平原和新的可达绿地供社区使用。2 .致力于通过格拉斯哥的绿色基础设施实现生物多样性效益，利用基于自然的解决方案恢复和连接栖息地，并将生态系统服务需求与供应相匹配。3 .努力将空置、废弃和受污染的土地变成固碳和污染修复的空间，并根据当地需要将其归还给社区。通过了解社区对主动和安全出行的看法，努力充分利用现有和计划中的基础设施，利用这些基础设施增加包容性的城市主动出行和机动性，改善空气质量，减少二氧化碳排放。致力于将格拉斯哥绿-蓝-灰空间作为智能本地能源系统的价值最大化，为格拉斯哥一些最贫困的地区带来热量。

GALLANT's vision is to develop whole-systems solutions for a just and sustainable transition delivered at the city scale.Corporate and political leaders are committing to carbon neutrality locally and globally, often without detailed strategies in place or coordination. This will likely lead to delays and suboptimal outcomes when we need rapid, impactful transformation. Cities are increasingly seen as drivers of a carbon neutral future (e.g., Carbon Neutral City Alliance) because through shared policy and knowledge exchange it is possible for successful action in one city to be adopted by others, creating scalable and rapid change. Glasgow is a model city to lead innovation because it has the UK's most ambitious carbon neutrality target of 2030; has challenging social and environmental inequities that will need to co-benefitfrom proposed solutions; and is due to host COP26 in 2021.Making meaningful, lasting change requires a commitment to the environment that embeds sustainability across major policy decisions and empowers communities as stewards of their local places. In GALLANT, we seek to work with local partners and communities to transform the city into a thriving place for people and nature. Our overarching goal is to implement a systems-based science approach to solve five environmental problems that will accelerate Glasgow's ability to adapt to and manage climate change. The approach integrates natural science and social science disciplines, putting data at the heart of decision-making. We will create the Glasgow Living Lab, delivering a framework that will be readily deployable to solve emerging environmental problems that show how academic, public and private sectors can act together to make progress. The five environmental solutions that we have prioritised with Glasgow City Council are:1. Working to transform urban river-edge land-use governance to create functional floodplains and new accessible green spaces for community use.2. Working to deliver biodiversity benefits from green infrastructure throughout Glasgow, restoring and connecting habitats using nature-basedsolutions, and matching ecosystem service demand with provision.3. Working to turn vacant, derelict, and polluted land into spaces for carbon sequestration and pollution remediation that can be returned to communities in line with local needs.4. Working to make the most of current and planned infrastructure by understanding community perceptions of active andsafe travel, use these to increase inclusive urban active travel and mobility improving air quality and reducing CO2 emissions .5. Working to maximise the value of Glasgow green-blue-grey spaces as a Smart Local Energy System thatbring heat to some of the most deprived areas of Glasgow.
