🛢️ Our supporters mobilised against the development of the Rosebank oil field.

There is now significant scientific evidence that new oil and gas fields are incompatible with globally-agreed climate thresholds.

We helped secure policy wins including

✅ Investment to support UK offshore wind manufacturing
✅ Plans to strengthen job quality requirements for renewable developers
✅ A funding boost for the Clean Industry Bonus (here's APPG supporter @richardfoordld.bsky.social calling for this back in January👇)

We welcomed in government commitments to:

🌏 Align future UK oil and gas production with climate science

👷‍♂️ Secure the benefits of the clean energy transition for workers and communities

💰 Invest in clean power and warm homes

🏛️ Our supporters continuously advocated for tackling the climate crisis and unlocking the benefits of clean energy for people and communities across the country.

🏗️ We hosted cross-party roundtables with Ministers in DESNZ and DBT - giving our supporters the opportunity to scrutinise the government’s plans around key policy milestones like the Industrial Strategy and consultation on the future of the North Sea.

👷 We heard from trade unions & worker representatives on the key barriers & opportunities to create pathways into good-quality renewable energy jobs.

Our VC @pippaheylings.bsky.social took their feedback to the debate on transitional support for oil & gas workers, calling for more concrete support.
July 24, 2025 at 3:54 PM
🚀 We launched our ‘Goals for a Fair Energy Transition', with cross-party backing.

As govt looks at shifting the North Sea away from oil & gas, our goals provide a blueprint for ensuring the transition delivers for workers, communities & the climate.

MPs and trade unions join growing calls for robust 'just transition' plan for oil and gas

💼 We brought business leaders into parliament to make the economic case for the UK's clean energy transition.

They welcomed the clean energy mission - calling it an economic inevitability which is backed by business - and urged govt to stick to its commitments.

🏛️ Our supporters pushed back against a false choice between economic growth and net zero.

“Net zero is the industrial opportunity of the 21st century. Doubling down on fossil fuels locks the UK into a declining sector.”

🗣️ Working with public opinion experts like @climateoutreach.bsky.social and @persuasionuk.bsky.social, we gave MPs practical tools for engaging with their constituents on climate issues.

Getting the messaging right – and ensuring people feel the benefits – will be key to a successful transition.

🌍 Ahead of COP29, we hosted Minister McCarthy for a cross-party roundtable on the UK's international climate policy priorities.

Our members mobilised to attend the debate on COP29 led by @deirdrecostiganmp.bsky.social, calling for the UK to lead in the global transition away from fossil fuels.
July 24, 2025 at 3:54 PM
📉 We brought leading climate scientists and experts like @ipcc.bsky.social and @thecccuk.bsky.social into parliament to speak with MPs.

CCC CEO @elpinchbeck.bsky.social reminded us that the public cares about the climate crisis and there are economic benefits that come with meeting our targets too.

🌟 At the start of the new parliament, we hosted a Climate and Nature Leadership Programme with @environmentappg.bsky.social.

Across 10 weeks, MPs, peers and their staff were briefed on the latest evidence for why we need rapid action to reduce emissions & protect nature.
