Legal Challenges Against Rosebank Oil Field Given The Green Light
Rosebank will do nothing to lower energy bills, save jobs, or make our energy supply more secure. It will only make billions for oil giants, with the UK public footing the bill through billions in tax breaks. The previous government knew this - and approved the field anyway. We believe that the decision to approve Rosebank was not only a disaster for the climate, and morally and economically wrong, but unlawful. Claims that drilling Rosebank is compatible with the UK’s obligations and a safe climate doesn't add up - and we will prove it in court.
This is now a straight fight between a livable future and oil and gas industry profits. The UK government has already admitted the decision was unlawful.
