❗ What is Rosebank?

• Rosebank is the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. The Conservative government approved Norwegian oil giant and Britain’s biggest gas supplier Equinor’s application to start developing the Rosebank oil field last year.
• Rosebank has drawn widespread public opposition including 700 scientists and experts, 200 organisations and celebrities, trade unionists, 400 faith leaders, 40 MEPs and MPs from every major political party.

📢 Why do we need to #StopRosebank?

• Despite warnings from climate scientists and experts the controversial Rosebank oil field - the biggest undeveloped field in the UK - was approved by the Tory government last year.
• Burning Rosebank's oil and gas would produce more CO2 than the 28 poorest countries do in a year. This would also bust UK climate targets - Rosebank is not compatible with a safe climate.
• Rosebank won’t do anything to lower our energy bills, save jobs or make our energy supply more secure. Despite oil giant Equinor and Ithaca making billions off the back of the energy crisis, the UK public are set to hand over billions in tax breaks for them to develop Rosebank.
• Some of Rosebank’s vast oil profits could flow to a company that operates in illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine.
• Rosebank's pipeline would cut through a Marine Protected Area, which poses a direct threat to protected marine life.
• Approving fields like Rosebank only makes us more dependent on expensive, polluting oil and gas for longer.
• People want change: not the same rip-off energy system where oil giants walk off with massive profits while we’re left with higher bills, declining jobs and a worsening climate crisis. It’s time for a rapid and just transition to homegrown clean affordable energy that prioritises community and justice.
• We're going to court to #StopRosebank. If the previous government's approval of Rosebank is found unlawful, the new government will have a chance to remake the decision and stop this field for good. More info.
