An uninsurable world isn’t a future idea. Climate risks are rising so fast that insurers are pulling back, leaving some regions nearly impossible to cover.

Japan is pushing devastating coal and gas expansion in #Bangladesh – where thousands of vulnerable people have lost land and livelihoods because of it.

We were proud to work with artists Noor Alam and Suman Kanti Paul, to share these stories from Bangladesh with people in Tokyo.

Lloyd’s of London’s booming fossil fuel business bucks market trend - Reclaim Finance Lloyd's of London is bucking the global trend by continuing to grow its fossil fuel business.

LNG expansion is affecting local economies. Because of dredging for an LNG operation, shrimpers in SW Louisiana haven’t caught anything this season.

This is part of a pattern of destruction, enabled by insurers like Sompo and Tokio Marine.

Chinese insurers dominate renewable energy insurance growth Industry urged to redirect coverage for net-zero transition

To be on the winning side, they need to immediately stop insuring new fossil fuel projects.

The bottom line: The fossil fuel insurance market remains three times larger than renewables.

Progress is happening, but the insurance industry remains exposed on both sides of the energy transition.

✅ The good news: Chinese insurers lead renewable energy insurance growth at 20%+, capturing $200M in new premiums last year.

❌ The bad news: Joel Poultney at Insurance Business Asia has found that Chinese insurers still underwrites 3x more fossil fuels than renewables.

Just like you need insurance to drive a car, fossil fuel projects need insurance to operate. That means that, by providing insurance for this project, Chubb is allowing the exploitation & abuse of Freeport communities. Join us to call on them to STOP INSURING Freeport LNG.

BREAKING: Activists are at the #USOpen to call out one of its major sponsors – Chubb – and demand it stop insuring Freeport LNG, a toxic fossil fuel project threatening our climate, and the health & safety of local communities.

Worsening Wildfires Contribute to Increasingly Unaffordable Insurance and Housing Costs The Trump administration's policies are making it worse.

As wildfires worsen across the U.S., so do home insurance costs.

Insurance companies frequently position themselves as victims of the climate crisis, but insurers aren’t the victims - they’re driving the problem: blog.ucs.org/rachel-cleet...

Australia has an insurance crisis. Climate change will make it worse Climate change makes disasters more frequent and more destructive, this is leading insurance companies to charge higher prices.

Over 340,000 Australian households are uninsured as a result of spiraling insurance costs.

Premiums will continue to rise unless insurers & policymakers tackle the root cause: climate change.

Insurers accelerated the shift away from coal, new study finds Fossil fuel exclusions are effective but Lloyd’s and Zurich play questionable roles

A new study shows that insurance companies' coal restrictions were effective in supporting the shift away from coal in the US. Insurers should use their clout to move away from oil and gas as well! Check out my #SwissClimateRambles blog post at swissclimaterambles.substack.com/p/insurers-a...?

This morning, before school drop-off, we erected a life sized flooded playground outside the @financialtimes.com Global Insurance Summit 🛝

Why? Because fossil fuel insurers like Hiscox are making climate disasters worse - then hiking premiums and dropping cover.

Our kids are paying the price. 🔥🌍

Why climate risk could affect your credit score for buying a home | CNN Climate change should be considered a new core aspect of creditworthiness when prospective home buyers apply for a mortgage, a new report shows.

As insurance companies tighten policies & abandon climate-affected areas, people could be forced to pay their ow disaster repairs.

This would drive up the risk of mortgage foreclosures & may force lenders to adjust credit scores based on climate risk 👇
