Rosebank’s future is undecided. But together, we can stop it.

Truly historic ruling that confirms governments and corporations have a legal duty to prevent further harm from fossil fuels, uphold the right to health, and safeguard future generations.
⚡️Historic! International Court of Justice rules:
👉Climate crisis = health crisis
👉Failure to act = failure to protect life.
"Health workers & advocates now have powerful legal backing to demand bold climate action rooted in justice.” said @jenimiller.bsky.social

In 100 days the Government will deliver its climate plan - there's been a lot of talk, we need to start seeing some action - a clear plan and targets. And it needs to be bold. There's been way too much time wasted, this is a chance to really demonstrate action. Pleased to add my name to this letter.
🚨 The clock is ticking...

Pleased to see new gov guidance for oil&gas projects now requires companies to include emissions from burning oil&gas in environmental impact assessments. Bonkers they have NOT doing this until now, but great to see a positive move from the UK gov on this 👏

The pathway set out by @thecccuk.bsky.social is deliverable, but we need to see some action. Done well it will achieve health benefits with cleaner air, cheaper fuel, better transport, and more nutritious diets.
The @theCCCuk has published its first carbon budget for Scotland to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. We summarise some key takeaways.
