Troubled Waters: North Sea Nations and the Climate Challenge | 16 |

In this episode, based on the "Troubled Waters" report from Oil Change International, we analyze the oil and gas policies of five North Sea countries—Norway, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark—and their alignment with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target. The report reveals that none of these nations meet key benchmarks for phasing out fossil fuel production, risking setbacks in global climate efforts. We discuss the urgent need for policy changes, including halting new developments, accelerating phase-outs, and implementing just transition strategies to ensure a fair shift away from fossil fuels.
