Jobs for oil & gas workers – joint briefing for UK spending review

Ahead of the UK Government Spending Review, we are calling for the Treasury to commit to an emergency funding package for North Sea oil and gas workers.

This funding package should include:

○ £1.1 billion per year to develop permanent, local jobs in publicly-owned wind manufacturing. 

○ £440 million of further investment per year to upgrade ports as critical national infrastructure. 

○ £355 million per year to develop a dedicated training fund for offshore oil and gas workers. 

This is a joint briefing from Friends of the Earth Scotland, Greenpeace, Oil Change International, Platform and Uplift.
