Norway's gift to the UK this year comes with strings attached - they are pressuring the UK to sign off on the mega-polluting Rosebank oil field.

HUGE WIN 🎉: The UK is pulling $1.15 billion from Total’s Mozambique LNG project, a destructive fossil fuel expansion we should never have funded.

Floods and cyclonic storms across Asia leave over 1,200 dead and hundreds missing Catastrophic flooding displaces more than four million people

Over 1,200 people have been killed by floods in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand & Malaysia.

Children lost homes, schools & any sense of safety overnight.

This should be front page news. The climate crisis is killing people now & leaders still refuse to treat it like an emergency

Scientists warn of severe climate-related risks to UK economy and security Experts lay out scale of changes needed in ‘first-of-its-kind national emergency briefing’ in Westminster

Source: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Researchers called for deep, rapid and fair decarbonisation, alongside technological and social revolution.

The cost of inaction? A collapsing Atlantic current, winters of -20C, hotter summers and a UK that is 100% reliant on food imports.

Our response will shape the future.

BREAKING 🚨: Scientists just delivered a stark emergency warning to the UK.

In an unprecedented Westminster briefing, experts laid out the risks posed to our economy, health, food systems and national security from the impacts of climate breakdown.

The time to act is now.

Now that we have shut down this distraction, the UK government can get on with its real job: ending ALL new oil and gas and making sure no one gets left behind in the transition.

Public pressure works. We are moving in the right direction - now let’s push this to the finish line.

Put a serious just transition plan in place

The government has committed to considering workers, communities and supply chains in the transition. But the plans themselves are inadequate.

Reject Rosebank and stop ALL new drilling.

The commitment does not prevent fields that already have a licence - like Rosebank and Cambo - from being developed.

The fight against Rosebank is STILL on.

But we need to be clear: these new commitments need to go even further to meet our climate goals and secure a fair future for workers.

The government must now address these critical gaps:

This extraordinary achievement belongs to the sustained, collective effort of thousands of you who made the case for this change.

Ending new licensing has been a key demand of our movement - including in the petition we submitted to the government with 1 million signatures.

We are finally moving towards energy policy guided by public interest, away from oil and gas bosses ransacking the North Sea for profit.

This is a massive step forward and will keep many millions of barrels of oil and gas in the ground.

The UK is now the first major oil and gas producer in the Global North to shift away from fossil fuels - the kind of leadership needed to drive a global phase-out.

BREAKING 🚨: The government has just announced that they are ending new oil and gas exploration in the UK and have started a plan for workers and communities to transition away from fossil fuels.

UK wildfires devastated more areas in 2025 than at any time since records began, figures show Firefighters call for long-term investment and say UK is dangerously underprepared as climate crisis worsens

Source: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Wildfires and floods hit the most vulnerable first.

Firefighters are stretched to their limits, and cannot shield communities when the government fails to invest in protection.

Climate chaos is here and the government has left us exposed.

SHOCKING 🚨: The UK just had its worst wildfire year on record.

47,000 hectares burned while firefighters were drafted from across the country to supplement under resourced local crews.

A safe future starts with funding the people on the frontline.

Holyrood protesters demand SNP stand against Rosebank PROTESTERS gathered outside the Scottish Parliament to call on the Scottish Government to stand against the Rosebank oil field.

Campaigners point out Rosebank’s emissions would rival 28 of the world’s poorest countries combined and we already have more oil and gas than it is safe to burn.

Leaders need to reject Rosebank and deliver a fast, fair transition that protects people, not polluters.

NEW: Protesters gathered outside Holyrood demanding the Scottish Government finally oppose Rosebank.

More than 250 organisations from Amnesty to the Church of Scotland have warned that the project would deepen climate breakdown and benefit corporations, not communities.

‍7 Reasons to stop Equinor’s Rosebank oil field Rosebank won’t boost British energy security or cut bills - yet UK taxpayers will foot most of the cost, while the profits go to Equinor and its partner Ithaca Energy. Equinor’s reckless gamble on Ros...

Here's why we need to #StopRosebank www.stopcambo.org.uk/updates/7-re...

Rosebank is majority owned by Equinor - Norway’s state-backed oil giant.

The company recently resubmitted an application to develop the field after its approval was overturned by the Scottish courts for failing to account for the enormous emissions from burning its oil.

Campaigners in Norway have today intervened in the felling of this year’s Trafalgar Square Christmas tree - the annual symbol of friendship between Norway and the UK - demanding that Prime Minister Keir Starmer pull the plug on the controversial Rosebank oil field for good.

BREAKING 🚨: campaigners halt felling of iconic Trafalgar Square UK-Norway Christmas Tree.

Norway's gift to the UK this year comes with strings attached - they are pressuring the UK to sign off on the mega-polluting Rosebank oil field.

Now, this profiteering company is trying to lock us even further into more fossil fuels by developing Rosebank.

The Rosebank oil field WON'T take a penny off bills, or boost out energy security, but it WILL worsen the climate impacts we’re already feeling here and around the world.
