A just transition for the oil and gas sector is the next frontier and a sensitive intervention point for climate mitigation. Our event aims to explore the role of these actors in the transition from black to green, highlighting the leadership role of Denmark both at national and international level.
A just transition for the oil and gas sector is the next frontier and a sensitive intervention point for climate mitigation. Today, we have a narrow window of opportunity to close the gap between international climate ambitions and policies for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In the North Sea, Denmark, Norway and the UK are expected to play a key role as first-movers, but only Denmark has so far committed to phasing out production. The scale of this challenge requires policymakers, industry, academia and civil society to work together. The event aims to explore the role of these actors in the transition from black to green, highlighting the leadership role of Denmark both at national and international level.
The event will also see the launch of three new reports looking at the opportunities and barriers for oil and gas just transition in Denmark, Norway and the UK/Scotland. They include key insights on the status of the transition in each country, the market and regulatory landscape, key stakeholders and narratives, social and economic implications of the transition, and sensitive intervention points for policy action.
