We had a lot of scenarios for how Cambo would play out, but beating oil giant Shell out of the park wasn't even in there!

The climate science has always been clear that there can be no new oil and gas fields if we're to limit warming to 1.5ºC, but today Shell have admitted there's no economic case either.
They also cited the 'potential for delays' - delays caused by the Stop Cambo campaign!

Shell had a 30% stake in the project, but without them the future of Cambo crumbles.
Siccar Point Energy (who have the remaining 70%) will really struggle to get someone to take this on if one of the biggest oil companies in the world doesn't want to be involved!

This is a real turning point - the beginning of the end of new oil & gas!
The science is clear, the public know it, politicians see it and now even the oil companies are admitting time's up.
Govt must reject Cambo, all new oil & gas, and deliver a just transition for workers.

Whatever role you played in the #StopCambo campaign - whether you signed a petition, wrote to your MP or MSP, organised actions or took to the streets - you all did this together. Celebrate tonight!
