A conservation organization, Oceana UK, is contesting the legality of 31 oil and gas exploration licenses granted by the UK government, arguing they threaten marine protected areas and climate stability. The group claims the previous administration's approvals did not adequately consider the potential environmental impacts, including oil spills. Although the current Labour government has prioritized clean energy, it has not revoked existing licenses. The case follows a recent British court ruling that forced other oil projects to reapply for environmental permits.
