Summary
"It sounds totally preposterous now – excluding the climate impact of burning oil," says Tessa Khan, environmental lawyer, campaigner, and founder of Uplift. Live on stage at Climate Curious Live in London, Tessa breaks down the legal strategy behind taking the previous UK government to court over its approval of the Rosebank oil field, and how they won! She unpacks the loopholes Big Oil has long relied on, the far-reaching implications of the UK Supreme Court's landmark ruling for climate policy, and why the billionaire-funded lobbying machine is finally starting to slip. Recorded in conversation with Climate Curious co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst. Enjoyed this conversation?
