Cambo is back for round two. Yes, that Cambo - the oil field that the UK government tried to sneak through while hosting COP26.
Cambo and Rosebank together would create nearly as much CO2 as the whole of the UK produces in a year. That's every car, every factory, and every home combined!
It doesn’t stop there - Cambo and Rosebank would send profits to one of Israel’s biggest oil companies, which operates in illegal settlements in the West Bank and supplies fuel to the Israeli military. Delek has already raked in hundreds of millions in the form of dividends from North Sea oil and gas. We cannot stand by as North Sea extraction becomes a revenue stream to a company with links to genocide. We need to stop Cambo and this financial pipeline.
The facts are clear: more drilling in the North Sea, including Cambo, will do almost nothing to increase UK energy security or lower our bills. But the oil bosses are using the crisis in the Middle East as an excuse to justify more drilling.
Last time, thousands of people across the world refused to let Cambo happen – we were loud, clear, and utterly determined. And we won: we forced Shell to pull out from the project! This was an incredible victory that gave people across the world hope that we can win against Big Oil's biggest players, even Shell.
Now, Rosebank’s co-owner Ithaca Energy, owned by Delek, wants to take over the challenge of reviving Cambo. They’ve just submitted an application to the government to get Cambo approved for drilling, and we're submitting our views to the public consultation.
Sign the petition to let the government know that we’ve buried Cambo once, and we’ll do it again 👇
Remember: no one act alone stopped the Cambo oil field. From direct action to legal pressure, political lobbying to media scrutiny, local community outreach to online actions - every act added up to force the industry to face a ‘death knell’ for fossil fuel extraction in the North Sea.
Ithaca thinks they can succeed where Shell failed. We’ll show them how wrong they are. We’re so ready for a rematch.
