UK government expected to approve Jackdaw gas field and Rosebank oil field despite legal challenges

The UK government is set to approve the Jackdaw gas field and Rosebank oil field, both located off the Scottish coast. The projects were previously ruled unlawful by the Court of Session in Edinburgh for failing to account for climate impacts. Environmental groups oppose the approval, arguing it will hinder climate goals, while industry bodies support it for enhancing energy security and jobs.
