Activists press Scottish court to halt Rosebank oilfield drilling.

Greenpeace and Uplift are challenging the legality of drilling licenses granted for the Rosebank and Jackdaw oilfields by the former Conservative government, claiming they were issued without proper consideration of their environmental impact. In a judicial review in Edinburgh, lawyers argued that the licenses ignored the significant carbon emissions resulting from the extraction and use of oil and gas, which could have detrimental effects on climate change. The case comes amid new climate commitments from the UK government, and activists believe that halting these projects is essential for the climate movement.

This legal challenge highlights the critical intersection of environmental policy and legal accountability. If successful, it could set a precedent for more stringent assessments of climate impacts before granting future drilling licenses, reinforcing the urgent need for sustainable energy practices.

        Legal action to halt oilfield drilling is a strong step toward holding governments accountable for their climate decisions. It reinforces the urgent shift needed from fossil fuels to sustainable energy practices.
