Member News: Aberdeen’s People Planet Pint Focus on Community Action

People Planet Pint returns to Six by Nico on 20th May at 7pm, bringing together Aberdeen’s sustainability professionals and climate innovators for an evening of genuine connection and shared purpose.

This month’s theme is Community Action, inspired by a series of separate community screenings of The Peoples Emergency Briefing (PEB) film being organised by local attendees throughout the month. Please note that these screenings are independent events and will not take place during the networking evening itself.

The PEB film features footage from the National Emergency Briefing, bringing together experts in climate science, economics, and health. It offers a non-partisan overview of how the nature crisis affects everyday life in Britain. For businesses, these risks are not abstract; they impact supply chains, insurance costs, and long-term stability. By establishing a common understanding of these challenges, leaders can move beyond minimising harm to channelling change, that actively heals and restores.

Networking for Impact, People Planet Pint offers a relaxed space for local changemakers to meet and spark ideas that move Aberdeen beyond mere sustainability toward regeneration, putting life at the center of every business decision. By adopting holistic thinking, we can address rivalrous dynamics and build resilient systems that nourish both our communities and the world.

Part of a global movement by Small99, these gatherings support an inclusive, transition. Hosted by Danielle Dale of The Changineer Ltd, with support from Krystal (the 100% renewably powered web host), these events demonstrate how local collaboration can turn big-picture goals into real-world impact.

All are welcome; registration is free via Eventbrite. Join us on the 20th to join the conversation shaping Aberdeen’s sustainable future.

For more information, contact Danielle Dale at [email protected].

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
