**Additional information on GALLANT**
Glasgow has set itself the goal to become climate resilient whilst at the same time alleviating deep-rooted social, health and economic inequalities. Frameworks such as Doughnut Economics are useful in helping us think holistically about the interconnectedness between the ecological and social conditions required for human thriving, and leave no-one in doubt about the urgency to provide a fully joined-up response.
We have secured major funding from NERC for a 5-year transdisciplinary programme of research (2022-2027) that is designing and implementing action on the ground to transition the environmental, social, and economic dynamics of one of the UK’s largest cities and surroundings. Called GALLANT (Delivering a Climate Resilient City through City-University Partnership: Glasgow as a Living Lab Accelerating Novel Transformation) we aim to develop whole-systems solutions for a just and sustainable transition delivered at the city scale.
Emphasising the importance of a joined-up response, GALLANT has a central, cross-cutting workstream focussed on Systems Transformation. This workstream engages with policy actors and stakeholders across relevant sectors of policy, society and business, and uses systems methodologies to support stakeholders in engaging with the complexity of the challenge to co-create solutions. As a result of a year-long engagement process to develop a Thriving Cities Portrait, Glasgow City Council has adopted a set of ambitious Thriving Definitions to guide council activities. The next step of the process, which the postholder will play a leading role in, will be to continue the engagement with researchers and stakeholders to develop theories of change, map ambitions to policy levers, strategies and changemakers and scientifically evaluate both change processes and progress towards climate resilience, health equit
