Open letter: Revise the North Sea Agreement for a fair, fossil-free future
RGO, together with 16 NGOs and almost 100 researchers, is involved in a joint appeal to the government to revise the North Sea Agreement. The agreement is incompatible with the Climate Act's goal that Denmark must actively work towards the Paris Agreement's 1,5 degree goal.
The government should bring forward the end date for fossil production to 2031 and close the continued options for fossil expansion that the current agreement allows through so-called 'mini-rounds' and 'neighbouring blocks'. This is what it says in a joint appeal to the government, in which RGO, together with 16 NGOs and almost 100 researchers, are involved.
The letter has been sent to Climate, Energy and Supply Minister Lars Aagaard (M), Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan Jørgensen (S), Environment Minister Magnus Heunicke (S) and Business Minister Morten Bødskov (S).
