The UK government has acknowledged in court that the approval for the Rosebank oil field near Shetland was granted unlawfully, failing to consider climate impact from burning fossil fuels. This admission came during a judicial review initiated by climate activists challenging the environmental assessments related to both Rosebank and the Jackdaw gas field. A recent Supreme Court ruling necessitates inclusion of all emissions in such assessments. If the court mandates further review, future decisions on drilling could rest with the Labour government led by Sir Keir Starmer.
