I just confronted the CEO of @equinor and it’s majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM.
The people in this room are responsible for the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field - Rosebank.
We are no longer pleading. We will #StopRosebank
GOOD NEWS: Responding to strong campaign pressure, @Zurich, one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel insurers, just excluded any further support for new oil and gas extraction and for new metallurgical coal projects. A quick 🧵 on why this is important.
👿 How the @BeazleyGroup profits twice from fueling the climate crisis: first by insuring fossil fuel expansion, and then by offering people whose homes become uninsurable extra expensive specialty cover. The worst of the worst! 👿 https://t.co/eaeYyBTmc3
📣 Two more insurance companies have responded to our campaign. But we can do more. 🌍

Remarkable story about the growing mobilization against fossil fuel insurers in @InsuranceERM: "The action against insurers is unlikely to relent – unless the industry makes a step-change in its approach to climate change." #InsureOurFutureNOW https://t.co/qtSJVxwfQ4
'No more blah blah blah!' say Organization for Community Engagement #StopEACOP activists in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
Don't ignore their voices, destroy their communities and ruin the planet for us all @tokiomarine@AIGinsurance#StopEACOP@stopEACOP
📽️One of our brilliant @MothersRiseUp organisers explains why @LloydsofLondon is such an important target in the fight against climate change.
The film is also a comprehensive romp through our classical dance performance outside Lloyd's earlier this week! 🌍❤️
When we fight, we win.
Grassroots communities from methane gas impacted areas in Texas and Louisiana marched and took over the lobbies of insurers @Chubb and @AIGinsurance in Houston, Texas today.
From the heart of oil country, communities fight back for their land, air, & water
💣 Carbon Bomb Defusal Squad at Lloyds of London
Hundreds took part linking hands around the iconic Lloyd’s building yesterday, demanding they put in environmental policies to exclude carbon-intensive projects from insurance cover, and inviting staff to a community assembly on the 5th March.
🗣️ “The people inside this building have the power to pull the plug on the very worst climate-wrecking fossil fuel projects by refusing to insure them.
“We’re calling on them to recognise their power - and use it now. They can be climate heroes, change the course of history.”
The protest was part of @InsOurFuture’s Global Week of Action against insurers.

Whilst the government fails to lead on the climate crisis, those with the biggest power to act…
turn out to be - INSURERS !?
Really? (a🧵from a former insurer)
