The UK government is planning to open a new oil field in the UK – which would be a climate disaster if approved. A decision could be made any time before spring. Tell your MP to #StopRosebank oil field, now.
The Rosebank oil field would lock the UK into decades of drilling for fossil fuel, and release more greenhouse gas emissions than the 28 lowest-income countries combined. People want a different future: a clean energy system that reduces our bills and protects the planet – instead of boosting corporate profits – and a future where workers and communities are supported. Rosebank represents the opposite.
This isn’t just a climate issue. If the UK approves Rosebank, it’s expected to send over £200 million to the Delek Group – majority shareholder in Rosebank and one of Israel’s biggest oil companies, which operates in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and supplies fuel to the Israeli military. The UK government should not approve a project that risks fuelling Israel’s genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people.
Right now, many people in the UK are struggling through the winter, forced to pay soaring energy bills. Ordinary people in the UK and people in Global South countries – who have done the least to cause the climate crisis – are losing homes to floods and facing drought and hunger. We need affordable, clean energy – not more fossil fuels.
The UK government could make a decision at any time, with a final deadline this spring. That means political pressure matters now more than ever. Your MP represents you – and they still have the power to influence whether Rosebank is approved or rejected.
Tell your MP to reject Rosebank and stand for climate justice and human rights.
