What the petition asks
Overturn the recent disastrous decision to grant new licences for oil and gas extraction from the North Sea.
Climate breakdown is having enormous impacts around the world, hitting harder and faster than scientists and models predicted.
In this context, no new oil and gas extraction should be considered. Furthermore, economic advantages for both the country and the public lie in developing renewable alternatives.
