Press release: Norway Supreme Court rules North Sea oil and gas approvals invalid in historic climate case. The Grand Chamber of Norway’s Supreme Court has invalidated permits for three North Sea oil and gas fields, ruling that the government failed to <br />account for the climate impact of burning the fossil fuels extracted. The decision deals a severe blow to the Norwegian state and energy giants Equinor and Aker BP, which developed the Breidablikk, Yggdrasil, and Tyrving fields. Haldis Tjeldflaat Helle, <br />Norway lead in Greenpeace Nordic, said: “This historic ruling changes Norwegian oil policy forever, and sets a precedent the world cannot ignore. Norway can no longer ignore the global damage caused when its oil and gas are burned abroad. Norwegian <br />authorities are now obligated to take into account the enormous climate damage caused by Norwegian oil and gas. This is a momentous victory for global climate justice.”
