📊 “Insurance can be quite a geeky and niche topic, but it’s such a powerful lever to protect our communities and move us on the energy transition we really need.” Why does insurance hold the keys to halt new fossil fuel projects in their tracks? That’s because if you can’t insure the work, it can’t go ahead. And with natural catastrophes costing an average of $110 billion per year, insurance is a powerful financial tool that could transform how the fossil fuel industry works. TEDxLondon’s #ClimateCuriousPod speaks to two campaigners from Insure Our Future Global, Isabelle L’Héritier and Nakabuye Hilda Flavia, on the wins from their recent week of global action across 31 countries and five continents. 🎧🌍 https://buff.ly/3xkfB75 #insurance #greenfinance #finance #insureourfutre #climate #climatechange #climatejustice #justtransition #green #environment #TED #TEDCountdown #TEDx

🌍 Am excited to see Zurich Insurance sign a a multi-year agreement with Silicate to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through enhanced rock weathering (#ERW). The deal will support Zurich’s climate strategy to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2030. This deal: ⭐️ Signals Zurich’s own shift towards a more diverse carbon removal portfolio. ⭐️ Showcases the pivotal role the insurance industry can play in scaling #climatetech. ⭐️ Demonstrates growing corporate contributions to advancing durable #CDR solutions. It’s also a prime example of how the financial sector can drive #climate innovation. That’s why at Flowcarbon we are working with innovative ERW projects and carbon offset partners to help them access the capital they need to scale. 🏃♀️💨 #ClimateInnovation #SustainableFinance #carbonremoval #climate #sustainability

Director Strategic Consulting - STG | Global proposition lead on Climate Change, Energy Transition, and ESG
Great piece and call to action by Bloomberg Green and Akshat Rathi. Indeed its time to think differently about hard to abate sectors as there are plausible roadmaps for (most of) them to change to greener modes of production or operation. To achieve this, more parties need to work together: the companies themselves but also the investors, project developers and please do not forget about the insurance industry. De-risking funding, de-risking projects and getting a better understanding of the changing risk profile of a company in transition can help prevent these much needed changes stopping in their tracks, and can even help accelerate. @Aon STG we help the insurance industry to play their part. Join the club! #Aon #AonSTG #insurance #netzerotransition

We are delighted to announce that Zurich Insurance has signed a multi-year agreement with Silicate to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through enhanced weathering. This contract marks another important step in our journey to enhance a natural carbon sink, mineral weathering, to durably remove excess CO₂ from the atmosphere. We are grateful for supporters like Zurich Insurance for including this promising carbon dioxide removal solution in their climate strategy to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2030. As long-term investors, insurers play a unique role in scaling novel climate technologies like enhanced weathering, and we are excited to be the first enhanced weathering developer to be included in Zurich Insurance’s carbon removal portfolio!

#InsureOurFuture #InsureOurFutureNOW #LaterIsTooLate Join us from February 26th to March 3rd for a global week of action to end fossil fuels. Together, we will hold the insurance industry accountable for its role in the climate crisis. We have 6 demands to the insurance industry : 1. Immediately cease insuring new and expanded coal, oil, and gas projects. 2. Immediately stop insuring any new customers from the fossil fuel sector which are not aligned with a credible 1.5ºC pathway, and stop offering any insurance services which support the expansion of coal, oil and gas production at existing customers. By March 2025, phase out all insurance services for existing fossil fuel company customers which are not aligned with such a pathway. 3. Immediately divest all assets, including assets managed for third parties, from coal, oil, and gas companies that are not aligned with a credible 1.5ºC pathway. 4. Define and adopt binding targets for reducing your insured emissions which are transparent, comprehensive and aligned with a credible 1.5ºC pathway. 5. Immediately establish, and adopt as policy, robust due diligence and verification mechanisms to ensure clients fully respect and observe all human rights, including a requirement that they obtain and document the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) of impacted Indigenous Peoples as articulated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 6. Immediately bring stewardship activities, membership of trade associations and public positions as a shareholder and corporate citizen in line with a credible 1.5ºC pathway in a transparent way.

The Net-Zero Insurance Alliance is facing a rocky road ahead. The climate coalition has been struggling since last year's mass exodus of members due to political pushback against #esg in the US. It will be interesting to see how the alliance adapts to these challenges and continues to work towards its goal of achieving #netzeroemissions in the #insurance industry. #NetZero #ClimateChange
