Aberdeen to play ‘really important role’ in abating climate change, predicts expert

A senior climate adviser has emphasised the “really important role” Aberdeen has to play in axing the UK’s carbon emissions.

Delivering the keynote address at Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce’s (AGGC) COP26 breakfast, Lord Deben told attendees that they are “part of the solution”.

He acknowledged the “very considerable expertise and experience” that exists in the north-east, stemming from the region’s rich oil and gas history, and its significance in delivering the energy transition.
