A GREENPEACE ship arrives in the region tomorrow, as the global campaign group continues the second leg of its ‘Just Transition Tour’. Campaigners will set up a 42-ft wind turbine blade on the deck of the famous Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior III ship as it berths in docks in Sunderland. Oil/gas workers and politicians will be invited to sign the blade in support of the “just transition” to renewable energy campaign. It calls for industry workers to be given the opportunity to access sustainable jobs in sectors like offshore wind and decommissioning. Greenpeace is calling on the Government to take action to deliver the transition, or risk abandoning a whole workforce, as was seen with coal miners and shipbuilders in past generations.

The government faces the threat of legal action over plans to allow exploration at the Cambo oilfield near Shetland after promising to put an end to new oil exploration licences that do not align with the UK’s climate goals.
Greenpeace has threatened to take the government to court over the decision, which has triggered an outcry from climate experts and green campaigners in Scotland and across the UK in recent weeks.
In a letter to the business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, the green group urged the minister not to rubber-stamp a permit for the Cambo oilfield, which could produce 170m barrels of oil and produce emissions equivalent to 16 coal-fired power plants running for a year.
