Global Week of Action on insuring Fossil Fuel (INT)
In order to build a new fossil fuel project, companies need three things: permits, money and insurance. Without insurance, most new fossil fuel projects cannot go ahead, and existing ones must close. This makes insurance the Achilles heel of the fossil fuel industry.
With your help, we will hold insurers accountable and help accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels. Together, we will ensure that a just climate transition makes polluters pay and protects our communities. Organise an event with us, or see what actions are already planned in the map below
Insurance campaigning has already made new coal power plants almost uninsurable, threatening their viability, Coal companies are finding it increasingly difficult to access insurance cover even for their ongoing operations. Now we need your help to do the same for oil and gas expansion.
