First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said proposals for the field should be re-examined over "the severity of the climate emergency".

With November's COP26 summit in Glasgow approaching, the UK government has promised to take the lead role in what is seen by many as our last, best chance to prevent global temperatures from spiralling out of control.

But environmental groups have accused ministers of "hypocrisy" after it emerged that the development of a vast new North Atlantic oil field at Cambo, west of Shetland, could get the green light.

Tessa Khan, an international climate change lawyer who founded Uplift - one of a number of groups signing a letter against the Cambo proposals accused ministers of automatically nodding projects through without thinking about their climate impacts.

"Boris Johnson aspires to be a climate leader but it requires him to understand the reality of the climate emergency and, crucially, act on it," she says.

"This means government needs to stop handing out new drilling licences in the North Sea and stop giving the go-ahead to untouched fields, like Cambo.

"And it means coming up with a real plan for phasing out supply while supporting workers to build what could be a globally-significant renewable energy industry in the UK."
