APPG member @jeevunsandher.bsky.social highlighted that the UK’s dependence on fossil fuels has led to an affordability crisis and asked how our transition away from fossil fuels will tackle the cost of household energy head on.
January 6, 2026 at 5:21 PM
As climate costs escalate, at home and abroad, the cost of the transition is falling, as technologies innovate and improve.

APPG member @pollybillington.bsky.social argued that investment in renewables will reduce the cost of energy and provide vital energy security in an uncertain world.

Chair of the ESNZ Select Committee and APPG member @billesterson.bsky.social said that those arguing against taking climate action are denying future generations a safe and liveable future.

In the current geopolitical context, it is crucial that the UK achieves true energy independence by reducing its need for fossil fuels.

@richardfoordld.bsky.social highlighted the UK’s increasing reliance on gas imports and asked how the government is building out homegrown energy supply.

The discussion focused on:

⚡️The government’s vision for the North Sea’s transition
🌎The government’s commitment to a 1.5°C and climate science-aligned approach to UK oil and gas production
👷How the government's plan delivers for workers, communities and supply chains

APPG member Olivia Blake MP urged the government to continue leadership shown at the COP30 negotiations when championing a road map for fossil fuel phase out by ruling out extraction at Rosebank.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
APPG member Abtisam Mohamed MP welcomed the UK’s support for the Belém Action Mechanism at COP30, but called for faster progress in moving away from oil and gas and the need to reject the application to extract from Rosebank.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
APPG member @elliechowns.bsky.social pushed the government to commit finance to the Tropical Forest Forever Facility fund and to global just transition efforts, while pressing the Secretary of State on the UK’s defining climate test: the Rosebank oil field.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
APPG member @barrygardiner.bsky.social expressed concerns about how fossil fuels are discussed at COP negotiations and asked the Secretary of State about the role played by the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance, and what the UK is doing to work with other countries.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
@stellacreasy.bsky.social stressed that approving new oil and gas projects such as Rosebank and Jackdaw would undermine the UK’s climate leadership and directly counter efforts to keep global warming below 1.5°C.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
APPG member Graham Leadbitter MP raised the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation on indigenous communities in the Amazon, and peoples across the globe living on the frontline of the climate crisis.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
APPG member @umakumaran.bsky.social welcomed the UK’s climate leadership and asked the Secretary of State for updates on the government’s plan for clean power by 2030, the UK’s nationally determined contribution, and steps being taken to push forward global cooperation on climate.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
APPG Vice Chair @pippaheylings.bsky.social welcomed progress at COP30 but raised concerns about the lack of agreement on fossil fuels, insufficient national commitments, and the UK’s decision not to invest in the Tropical Forests Forever Facility fund.
November 28, 2025 at 12:03 PM
Chair of the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee @billesterson.bsky.social highlighted that the energy transition and meeting the 1.5° target is not only a climate imperative but essential for the UK’s long-term energy security.
