Hi John,

Are you ready to be part of something big? A battle that could stop the fossil fuel industry in their tracks?

On November 12th - in just 29 days - Greenpeace will be in court to stop Shell and Equinor from developing illegal oil and gas fields in UK waters. [1] This isn’t just another court case. The verdict could stop Shell and Equinor’s reckless new projects — and set a precedent for stopping other fossil fuel developments. We need your support to help us win.

Please can you sign our urgent petition to help us ramp up pressure on these oil giants before our day in court? We’ll use the petition as support in the court room, so every signature strengthens our hand.

Over the last two weeks record breaking hurricanes supercharged by fossil fuel-driven climate change have ripped their way through the USA. [2] Hurricane’s Milton and Helene have devastated the lives of ordinary Americans and left a trail of destruction worth billions. [3]

We’re witnessing the climate crisis intensify in front of our eyes, but all Shell and Equinor care about is lining their shareholder's pockets. They’re ignoring the science and continuing to drill for new climate-wrecking oil and gas.

That’s why we’re going to court on November 12th to stop Shell and Equinor from developing their Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in UK waters. This is our opportunity to stop Big Oil’s reckless drilling. Together we can change this.

Please can you sign our urgent petition to help us put pressure on these oil giants before our day in court? We’re going to take each and every signature with us to that courtroom. Imagine: Shell and Equinor’s lawyers being greeted by the power of tens of thousands of names and voices speaking out against them.

You might be asking yourself, well if they are so bad, how and why were these oil fields approved in the first place? With the backing of the last government, Shell and Equinor ignored the impact the fields would have on the climate once the oil and gas is actually burnt. Something the Supreme court has since ruled illegal. [3]

And thanks in no small part to our people-powered campaigning, the new government has also now conceded these fields are unlawful. [4] But Shell and Equinor are still determined to squeeze every last drop out of the North Sea. They’re refusing to give up without a fight - so we’re going back to court to stop them.

We’ll be doing everything in our power to stop these new oil and gas fields in court. But to deliver them the finishing blow, we need you to join us by taking action too.

A fairer, greener and safer world is at our fingertips. We need to move away from fossil fuels, invest in renewables, make oil giants pay for the damages caused by climate change and ensure the government supports and retrains oil and gas workers into secure, unionised green jobs!

This is the fight of our lifetimes - and we owe it to future generations to throw everything we’ve got at it.

Thank you for everything you do,

P.S. In case you were wondering, the new Jackdaw and Rosebank oil and gas fields will do nothing to lower your sky-high energy bills because North Sea oil and gas is sold on global markets - so producing more doesn’t cut prices for British households. Find out more here: [link removed]
