Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK

The UK Government has pledged to deliver “a world-leading national programme offering end-to-end career transition support for oil and gas workers looking to move into secure jobs in growing industries”. This brief sets out what “world-leading” actually requires: five principles for a service that goes well beyond careers advisory and actively recruits workers into good quality alternative jobs.

Scotland has everything it needs to win big from the energy transition. But right now, it is missing out. Here are our proposals for the next Scottish Government to ensure that it delivers for Scotland’s workers and communities – and Make Energy Work for Scotland.

Uplift welcomes this public consultation and the opportunity to present our views on draft supplementary Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) guidance for assessing the effects of scope 3 emissions on climate from offshore oil and gas projects.
