Sign Our Charter
We believe people can make Glasgow a National Park City.
Gaining National Park City status will make us part of an international community of cities who believe that supporting each other and working together with the National Park City Foundation, we can make all our futures Greener, Healthier and Wilder.
The designation will help celebrate, support, amplify and connect the fantastic communities, individuals and organisations who can together create a Greener, Healthier Wilder Glasgow - for everybody.
An important step in getting our National Park City status is showing we have your support. So if you share our vision and that belief - please add your support:
Sign the charter, get involved or just to keep in touch with our news.
(Sorry - if you've already signed up for our newsletter in the past the mailchimp form to sign the charter can get confused - if it's easier just send us an email with your name and we'll add you)
Glasgow National Park City Charter
We believe in a future in which Glasgow is:
-
A place where everyone is engaged with nature and the outdoors.
-
A city where nature is thriving and spaces and places are connected.
-
A city that’s reducing its ecological and environmental impact.
-
A place where connecting people and nature helps deliver social and environmental justice and reduces inequality.
-
A place where every child has the chance to learn and have fun in nature every day.
-
A city with clean, healthy air and water.
-
A city where people are proud of their natural and cultural heritage.
-
A place where everyone has access to green, healthy, sustainable travel.
-
A city nearing the top of health and wellbeing tables instead of the bottom.
-
A place where excellent design delivers buildings and spaces that respond to the needs of people and nature.
-
A place where everyone feels empowered and inspired to make our city greener, healthier and wilder.
