The roundtable focused on fossil fuel phaseout, scaling up renewable energy and restoring UK climate leadership. MPs and Peers raised a number of issues with the CCC including their opposition to the Rosebank oil field and how the CCC could respond to its potential development, unblocking barriers to net zero, improving energy efficiency, COP28, recommending a Future Generations Act and more! 

The following Parliamentarians attended the roundtable: Caroline Lucas MP, Kerry McCarthy MP, Anna McMorrin MP, Hilary Benn MP, Llyod Russel-Moyle MP, Wera Hobhouse MP, Baroness Kate Parminer and Baroness Natalie Bennett.
