UK's offshore energy transition faces challenges, with only 0.3% of pathways indicating a "just" transition; Scotland's offshore industry risks 31,000 jobs with no action.
UK facing challenges for offshore energy transition, with political decisions crucial to workforce size. Less than 0.3% of 6,560 pathways analysed by Robert Gordon University indicate a "just and fair" transition.

Sustaining current workforce levels requires increased installation of offshore turbines (1 per day) and continued oil extraction (500,000 barrels daily).
