Episode 22: The transition from oil and gas: Interview with Tessa Khan, Uplift

Tessa Khan is the Executive Director at Uplift, a climate action organisation that supports efforts to transition rapidly and fairly away from oil and gas production in the UK. In this episode, she discusses a number of different legal developments to facilitate that transition, including the landmark legal case relating to the Jackdaw and Rosebank oil fields, following Sarah Finch’s successful case in the Supreme Court, as well as the new guidance, published last month, on how scope 3 emissions arising from the downstream combustion of the hydrocarbons should be assessed in the context of the proposed offshore oil and gas projects, and the potential role of the North Sea Transition Authority in facilitating that transition. She also sets out the role of litigation in shedding light on the windfall tax on the oil and gas industry.
