⚠️ What is Rosebank?

Rosebank is the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. The UK government has approved Norwegian oil giant and Britain’s biggest gas supplier Equinor’s application to start developing the field.
Rosebank has drawn widespread public opposition including 700 scientists and experts, 200 organisations and celebrities, trade union leaders, 400 faith leaders and 40 MEPs, and MPs from every major political party.
With this decision, the government is siding with oil and gas giants over a liveable future for all—whether that’s a habitable planet, or not having to choose between heating and eating.
The biggest field deserves the biggest fight. In 2021, we successfully stopped the Cambo oil field by making Shell pull out of the project. We can do it again.

Despite warnings from climate scientists and experts, the UK government is hell-bent on extracting more oil and gas. If approved, ****Rosebank would be developed by oil and gas giant Equinor, which is majority-owned by the Norwegian government.
Rosebank is HUGE. It’s almost 3 times the size of Cambo - the oil field that we successfully stopped in 2021.
Rosebank would be catastrophic for the climate. Scientists have warned global leaders time and time again that governments can't allow any more new oil and gas if we want to limit global warming to 1.5C. Just burning the fossil fuels in existing UK oil and gas fields will contribute to pushing us past “safe” climate limits. The CO2 from burning the fossil fuels in just this ONE SINGLE oil field would be equal to the annual CO2 emissions of the 28 countries in the lowest income countries combined.
Rosebank won’t do anything to lower our energy bills, or make our energy supply safer, but will make millions for oil & gas companies and cost the UK taxpayer around £3 billion in subsidies.
Rosebank could endanger protected marine life and its pipeline would cut through a specially protected seabed.
