Averting catastrophic climate change is one of the m ost critical challenges of this century, and insurers are greatly contribut ing to the climate crisis by perpetuating our dependence on dirty fossil fu els. Financial services like insurance companies provide insurance for foss il fuel projects like coal plants, drilling in the Arctic, and oil pipeline s, as well as by investing their customers’ premiums in fossil fuel compani es. The insurance industry has the potential to help accelerate our transit ion to a clean energy economy, but it needs to change. Nearly 20 major insu rance companies worldwide have committed to stop insuring coal, and five al so exclude tar sands from their insurance offerings. Three in surance companies have also publicly committed to not insuring or inves ting in oil and gas activities in the Arctic.
