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.

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.

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...?

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 👇

How is the climate crisis affecting affordable housing?
Housing costs all over the world are skyrocketing, and climate change-driven disasters are only making it worse. Could city planning and risk reduction help?
Across the globe, insurance costs are skyrocketing as a result of the climate crisis. In Germany, premiums are predicted to double in the next decade 📈
This is not sustainable - yet insurance companies continue to underwrite and invest in fossil fuels.
