Nicola Sturgeon avoids question after being confronted at COP27 over North Sea oilfield
Nicola Sturgeon has been confronted by climate activists at COP27 calling for the First Minister to oppose a new oilfield in the North Sea.
Following a fringe event in the north African country activist Wiktoria Jedroszkowiak asked Sturgeon about her views on the Rosebank oilfield off the coast of Shetland. It is believed the £8.1 billion field west of Shetland could hold around 300 million barrels of oil with production targeted for 2026.
The FM says: "My views on these things are really clear, I think we've got to move away from fossil fuels we've got to do that in just way which is why we're talking about it. Your friends in Scotland speak to me about these things regularly.
