Edinburgh's newly-elected councillors have been urged to work together and "seize the mandate for action" to deliver on the city's ambitious climate targets.
Dr Sam Gardner, chair of the Edinburgh Climate Commission, said the council's new policymakers have "no reason to pause" following last month's election, which left divisions in the chamber as Labour opted to form a minority administration with support from the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives, ending a five-year partnership with the SNP group.
Prior to the election, the Commission - an independent group made up of 15 climate change experts sponsored by the City of Edinburgh Council and the University of Edinburgh's Climate Change Institute - wrote to all parties asking them to outline their climate commitments.
