🌏 Helping Glasgow Go Greener - Together Glasgow City Council, in partnership with Abundance Investment, has launched the #GlasgowGreenInvestment, offering a unique opportunity to support local climate action with potential to earn a financial return♻ The first phase of the initiative aims to raise £1 million to install solar panels on council buildings, helping reduce energy costs across vital community facilities such as schools, libraries, and leisure centres. These savings can be reinvested into public services - benefiting citizens and the environment alike. This investment supports Glasgow’s ambition to become one of Europe’s greenest and most climate-resilient cities. Any returns are based on income from solar energy savings and repayments. 🔗 Learn more on how you can invest in Glasgow’s greener future, including full terms and risk information available 👉 https://lnkd.in/e7_4AjZs
