If we want a liveable climate, we have to put an end to new oil and gas projects and licenses in the North Sea.
Why the UK Government must Stop Rosebank
Rosebank is the UK’s largest undeveloped oil field. It is situated right next to a marine protected area off the west coast of Shetland, threatening the lives of endangered species.
Rosebank is not compatible with a safe climate and will bust UK climate goals.
It won’t lower our energy bills or make our energy supply more secure.
The UK public would carry almost all the costs of developing Rosebank in the form of billions in tax breaks for oil giants.
Some of Rosebank’s vast oil profits could flow to a company that operates in illegal settlements in Palestine.
New fields like Rosebank won’t solve the decline of jobs in the North Sea. Only a just transition will.
