The UK government has announced plans to Grant Hundreds of new oil and Gas Licences in the North Sea, despite environmental concerns and calls from campaigners and the United Nations to halt the development of new fossil fuel projects. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak argued that the move would enhance the country's energy security and reduce reliance on foreign leaders like Vladimir Putin. The announcement comes as Sunak faces pressure to roll back expensive environmental commitments amid declining support for green policies among grassroots Conservative voters. The UN has called on governments to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
