ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS BATTLE THE BAY DU NORD OIL PROJECT IN COURT AND BEFORE THE NORWEGIAN PUBLIC
A number of protesters gathered in May to voice their opposition to the approval of the Bay du Nord oil project in front of the Equinor offices in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Environmental organisations continue to oppose the Bay du Nord offshore oil project in Newfoundland even after the federal government approved it months ago. They are taking the business to court and their offices in Norway.
Opponents of the project anticipate that Equinor, a state-owned Norwegian firm accountable to the nation's citizens, would pay closer attention to the escalating climate concerns about the extraction of fossil fuels. The project is partially funded by the oil company BP.
Environmental organisations are concentrating their efforts on that approaching milestone as Equinor has not yet made a final investment decision over moving further. They have petitioned the federal court for a reconsideration of the environmental approval of the project, led by the environmental law organisation Ecojustice.
Energy N.L. participants are informed that Bay du Nord preparations are going "full speed" as the conference comes to an end.
According to Ian Miron, a staff attorney at Ecojustice, "Our federal government asserts that it knows climate science." Therefore, it should be clear that Canada cannot lead on climate change while approving projects like this one for fossil fuel infrastructure.
