Editor’s note:<\/strong> On February 22, the UK government announced it would follow some other European states in leaving the Energy Charter Treaty<\/a> due to members’ failure to agree reforms in line with net-zero emissions goals. Countries that withdraw from the pact can still be sued by energy firms under a 20-year sunset clause.<\/em><\/p>\n

The UK is considering a new law which would invite applications for new oil and gas production licenses in the North Sea every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Offshore Petroleum Licensing Bill will not help with the UK\u2019s energy security, reduce bills or serve anything but fossil fuel giants’ short-term profits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of this, if it passes into law, the UK faces the grave risk of economy-wrecking lawsuits.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is because the UK is a member of the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) – a multilateral investment pact which allows investors in energy to sue governments over policies that affect their investments in over 50 countries across Europe and Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Investors weapon<\/b><\/h3>\n

The ECT is the <\/span>most litigated<\/span><\/a> investment agreement in the world. It contains Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions which are used by fossil fuel companies to deter, delay or raise the cost of climate policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ISDS enables them to sue governments for billion-dollar payouts over their climate policies, in secretive tribunals outside of national legal systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Weak attempts at reforming the Energy Charter Treaty <\/span>have failed<\/span><\/a> numerous times over the years, and thus many European countries including Germany, France and the Netherlands have decided to exit over the risks to their climate action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Loss and damage<\/strong> must be a focus of IPCC\u2019s next reports<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The UK government <\/span>launched a review<\/span><\/a> of its membership last year and is overdue announcing its outcome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent <\/span>research by CommonWealth<\/span><\/a> found that at least 40% of the UK\u2019s North Sea oil and gas licenses are owned by foreign investors, many headquartered in ECT member countries like France or Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the UK government fails to leave the ECT, foreign investment into North Sea oil and gas means not only a headlong sprint in the wrong energy policy direction, but invites a huge bill even if a future government changes course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Labour Party, which is far ahead in the polls, says it will stop new oil production. An election will be held this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming clash<\/h3>\n

Carbon Tracker recently <\/span>showed<\/span><\/a> that North Sea oil and gas companies are financially planning for far slower energy transition scenarios than governments are working to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Switzerland proposes<\/strong> first UN expert group on solar geoengineering<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a result, they are setting up a clash between climate policies and their financial expectations, raising the risk of ISDS claims.<\/span><\/p>\n

Producing the first oil and gas from a field can take more than 18 years. By then, the climate policy landscape will be vastly different.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 1.5 C warming limit is likely to be <\/span>passed<\/span><\/a> within the next decade or two, so the imperative to reduce fossil fuel use will be even greater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The dearth of long-term thinking in Westminster means policymakers are ignoring the risk of leaving the fossil fuel industry with such a powerful weapon.<\/span><\/p>\n

An investor using ISDS can claim not only for costs sunk by a government policy but for any future lost profit it expected to earn over a project\u2019s lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n

These companies can decry far bigger losses than is reasonable given the fast-moving renewables revolution, and ISDS tribunals are rigged to back them up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Problems mount<\/strong> for Sahara gas pipeline, leaving Nigerian taxpayers at risk<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Facing an ECT claim, any reasonable argument the UK may have developed about the environmental, social – even economic – imperative to phase out fossil fuels will have to be left at the door: it signed up to the fossil fuel giants\u2019 charter, failed to leave it when it had the chance, and breached it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So much for the polluter pays: the UK taxpayer will have to bail them out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Failed reforms<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no reforming the deadly oil and gas bill, in or out of the ECT. But remaining a member of the treaty adds an incredulous new dimension of fiscal irresponsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

The European Commission is proposing a mass withdrawal to neutralise the Energy Charter Treaty\u2019s sunset clause \u2013 which extends the right to ISDS claims for 20 years even after countries leave \u2013 among exiting parties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If the countries leaving together agree to cancel the sunset clause between themselves, then the benefits of exit are magnified.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given how many ECT-covered investors in 1.5C-incompatible projects on British soil are European, the UK joining this coordinated withdrawal would eliminate<\/a> 99% of the ISDS risk – leaving little logical argument to remain bedfellows with climate laggards in a collapsing treaty.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to rip up the get-out-of-jail-free card that dirty North Sea projects, fast becoming obsolete, have up their sleeve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At stake is a chill on policies to address the biggest crisis facing humanity, and an unjust transition that would be billed to the UK public.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
