Genuinely crackers statement from Kemi Badenoch this AM setting out her approach to North Sea oil & gas. As she says, "cheap abundant energy is the foundation of prosperity"... which is why we need to plan to transition away from North Sea O&G and focus on renewables instead🧵
Energy Transfer's case against Greenpeace is a brazen attempt to silence peaceful protest and undermine solidarity with communities that are directly threatened by the actions of oil and gas companies: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m… 🧵
Brand new research from Uplift confirms the minimal role oil & gas companies are playing in driving forward the UK's energy transition. Just 8% of of North Sea producers will have invested anything in UK renewable energy projects by 2030. More in the 🧵 theguardian.com/environment/20…
BREAKING: we've received permission from the Court of Session to proceed to a full hearing on ALL of the grounds of our legal challenge against the Rosebank oil field. This is a major step towards stopping this disastrous project. Here's why: 🧵
Incredible work by @StopCambo @GreenpeaceUK @WillGreenpeace @tessakhan as the government drops the defence of the #Rosebank oil field. A massive win for campaigners and another step towards the a cleaner, greener future for our seas, planet & climate. @oceana @oceanaUK
UK government will not fight Rosebank oil field legal challenge bbc.in/4dMsXJt
BREAKING 🚨: The UK government has decided not to defend the case against Rosebank. This is a massive win and a huge step towards stopping Rosebank for good.
The government has agreed that the approval of the Rosebank oil field - made without considering the emissions from burning its oil and gas - was unlawful & they won't be defending the judicial review. A great day for the climate! 🌍

If you missed this super important ruling from the UK Supreme Court last month then give today’s episode a listen. My thanks to @clare_r_h for her expert take on this crucial case

BREAKING - 5 year campaign wins big - Supreme Court says you can’t grant planning for oil and gas without considering greenhouse gas emissions when that oil is burned . Huge potential impact for any new oil gas or coal projects in UK
WOW! Huge news from Supreme Court - an absolutely giant step forward to a fossil-free future. No longer can oil & gas projects get away with only counting a fraction of real emissions they're causing. Huge congrats to Sarah Finch, @WealdActionGr and @friends_earth #CountTheCarbon

Enormous thanks to @friends_earth and their legal team for all their work. Such an incredible amount of support since coming forward to be an intervener on our case in 2020! Come and support @MadamPratolungo outside Supreme Court, London 8:45am 20 June friendsoftheearth.uk/climate/horse-…
So happy to celebrate this historic win and amazing work by @WealdActionGr, @friends_earth and their legal teams! 🎉 This marks an end to fossil fuel projects being approved without considering their true climate impacts. A wonderful and sensible judgment from the Supreme Court!

WIN FOR THE CLIMATE! The decision to approve new oil drilling in Surrey was just declared UNLAWFUL at the Supreme Court. So proud to be here standing in solidarity with Sarah Finch and @WealdActionGr for the judgement. ❤️✊ This is HUGE. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
We welcome the European Court of Human Rights @ECHR_CEDH ruling in #KlimaSeniorinnen case v. #Switzerland affirming that States have human rights obligations to sufficiently mitigate #climate change. Ruling provides a basis for determined action & justice globally - @volker_turk
📢 take action by Friday 📢 Please sign this consultation to support government to say no and to legislate for a ban for oil and gas exploration and licences. Deadline Friday 12 April. Thank you #fossilfreeNI action.friendsoftheearth.uk/target/make-yo…?
Huge & inspiring win @GreenpeaceNorge @NaturogUngdom, with the approval of new oil and gas fields ruled unlawful due to failure to consider climate impacts of the oil and gas to be extracted - based on the same EU Directive implemented in the UK. If Norway can do it, so can we.

The Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill is a political stunt It won't deliver energy security or lower bills, but will drive climate breakdown & lead to yet more flooding No wonder even Tories are denouncing it @ClimateAPPG @GreenpeaceUK Me for @MetroUK metro.co.uk/2024/01/10/eve…
