Prime Minister Andy Burnham
The fate of one of the UK’s largest undeveloped oil fields has become a test of Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s approach to global warming as he heads to the COP31 climate talks in Turkey.
A majority of UK cabinet ministers support drilling at the Rosebank oil and gas field in the North Sea, but a decision on the project isn’t expected for several weeks, Bloomberg News has previously reported. That timetable would put any announcement after COP31, which began on Monday and runs for a fortnight.
