Announced policies such as a Jobs Bonus – if implemented correctly – could help deliver good quality, permanent jobs for workers in industrial heartlands - like Scottish oil and gas communities and the North East of England. The transition is already well underway with jobs supported by the oil and gas industry more than halving over the past decade as North Sea reserves have declined. It is imperative that we now focus on delivering a just transition for workers and seizing the opportunities that a transition to clean energy creates.

The UK government is finally being forced to look at the massive harm that new North Sea oil and gas drilling is doing to our climate. While it consults on what this means, Uplift looks at the enormous opportunity the country now has to stop vast amounts of CO2 from being released into our atmosphere.

The long-term economic benefits of green transition are widely recognised by UK business sector.
