Episode Details

Experts caution that approving new oil and gas fields in the North Sea, such as Rosebank and Jackdaw, could undermine global climate efforts. Despite pressure from oil giants, Conservatives, Reform UK, trade unions, and Treasury officials, data indicates these fields would barely impact gas imports and offer no price relief. Climate diplomats, including Lord Stern and Christiana Figueres, warn that greenlighting these projects would send a negative signal and hinder the transition to renewable energy. Developing countries, like those represented by Mohamed Adow, urge wealthy nations to lead by example and avoid propping up outdated fossil fuel industries. As the UK prepares for a key fossil fuel transition summit, refusing new licenses sets a strong precedent for clean energy adoption and global climate action.
