Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce reposted this
3️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 The British Chambers of Commerce has thrown its weight behind calls for an independent task force to examine the plans for #NorthSea #energytransition and to safeguard jobs. In a significant new report published tonight, Chambers across the UK have united to say there must be a balance that “preserves the investment and skills needed for the green economy and safeguards thousands of jobs”. It recognises the UK must fulfil its climate commitments, but said current plans for the oil and gas industry risk reducing investment and impacting energy security. BCC officials have said the independent task force should bring together expertise of all sectors impacted by North Sea operations, including, but not limited to the energy sector, economists, environmentalists and unions. Colleagues at Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce have been heavily involved in this piece or work, which builds on its call for an independent body earlier this year. With warnings this week that up to 35,000 #oilandgas jobs are at risk, we need an effective energy transition which does not cut adrift the tens of thousands of highly skilled people across the UK who rely on the sector for their livelihoods.

📰 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: New North Sea oil and gas projects have been paced on hold this morning while the UK Government responds to a landmark court case on the environment. Energy Minister Michael Shanks has announced plans to issue new guidance after the Supreme Court said that environmental impact assessments should take into account emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, and not just the production of them. While insisting the government recognises the "proud history of the UK offshore industry" and the "brilliance of its workforce", Mr Shanks has also confirmed that the government will launch a consultation on its manifesto pledge to end new North Sea licences altogether. At 7am this morning, the government announced plans for new environmental guidance for oil and gas firms to provide "stability for industry, support investment, protect jobs, deliver economic growth, and meet its climate obligations, as the North Sea transitions to its clean energy future." The guidance is necessary in light of a Supreme Court ruling that has implications for the assessment of new development consents.
