New oil and gas law risks UK’s green cred, says former climate chief

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:42 GMT

LONDON — A new law to introduce annual licensing rounds for North Sea oil and gas exploration is a “distraction” that risks undermining the U.K.’s green “credibility” on the world stage, the country’s former top climate diplomat has warned.MPs will vote on the government’s Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill for the first time on Monday.But Alok Sharma, a Conservative MP and former minister who served as president of the COP26 U.N. climate summit in 2021, told POLITICO that ministers should “reflect on the consistency of their message and credibility internationally when just a few weeks ago at COP28 the U.K signed-up to ‘transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems.’”Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has drawn criticism from green campaigners — including some of his own MPs — in recent months, saying he wants to “max out” North Sea fossil fuel reserves while watering down key climate targets on electric vehicles and home heating.

PARIS — In a state ceremony held over Jacques Delors’ coffin on Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to “an honest European man” and touched upon more personal aspects of the EU statesman’s life, including his Christian faith and his love of football and “loud jazz.” Placing himself firmly in the mold of the ex-president of the European Commission, Macron saluted a politician who “reconciled France with Europe” and “Europe with its future” in a homage that mixed France’s martial pomp with the mellow jazz of Coleman Hawkins’ “Body and Soul.” As Commission president, “he was everywhere, clocking up 180 trips per year, and he listened, talked, negotiated, strong-armed and invented compromises,” working tirelessly for “a more sovereign, more united and stronger Europe,” said Macron.Some of the EU’s most prominent leaders gathered in the stately courtyard of the golden-domed Invalides in ...

U.K. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said North Korea will pay a “high price” for supporting Russia, a day after the U.S. accused Moscow of using Pyongyang-supplied missiles in its war on Ukraine.“The world has turned its back on Russia, forcing Putin into the humiliation of going cap in hand to North Korea to keep his illegal invasion going,” Shapps said Friday. “In doing so Russia has broken multiple UNSC resolutions and put the security of another world region at risk. This must stop now.”The White House on Thursday said it had intelligence indicating North Korea “recently provided Russia with ballistic missile launchers and several ballistic missiles,” and that Russian forces had launched “at least one of these North Korean missiles into Ukraine” on December 30.The U.K.’s Foreign Office slammed Moscow, saying the use of North Korean weapons was “symptomatic of its isolation on the world stage and a sign of its desperation,” and in ...
