This is the moment we've been building towards.
Oil giant Equinor has just resubmitted a new application for the Rosebank oil field. That means one thing: the UK government will make a new decision on whether to reject or approve Rosebank – and it could be very soon.
For the next 30 days, the government is asking the public what they think about the Rosebank application. After this, the government will make a new decision to scrap or greenlight Rosebank at any time.
What happens in the coming weeks could decide whether the government listens to the public and stops the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK - or listens to the oil lobby of Rosebank owners Equinor and Ithaca, and drag us backward into more dirty expensive fossil fuels.
That’s why we’re getting ready to step things up.
We’re starting by showing the government that thousands of us are not backing down on stopping Rosebank. We’ve made it super easy for you to take part.

This is our window to speak directly to Keir Starmer. We’ll send your messages in together as part of Stop Rosebank’s official response to the government and to your MP based on your postcode. Let’s show them just how many of us know this project is a bad deal for the UK and a threat to a liveable future for all.
And we’re not stopping there: keep an eye out over the coming weeks on how to ramp up the pressure.
Together, we’ve already done what many thought was impossible: delayed Rosebank’s decision many times, overturned the field’s approval, and helped bring about new government rules that make this climate-wrecking project harder to push through. But Equinor hasn’t given up, and neither will we.
Let’s finally put an end to Rosebank.
Demand the government #StopRosebank
This government cannot claim to care about climate change and approve Rosebank – the maths don’t add up.
Rosebank is a very bad deal for the UK: it won’t lower bills and will do almost nothing to boost energy security, given that most of it is oil destined for export. But it would lock us into decades more fossil fuels we cannot afford. On top of that, generous tax breaks mean the UK public would shoulder over 80% of the costs of developing Rosebank.
We deserve a future powered by clean energy, not corporate greed.
