What’s the weak spot in the fossil fuel death star?
Insurance. Without insurance the oil, gas and coal criminals can’t afford to dig and drill for the oily products cooking our planet.
Extinction Rebellion’s Insure Our Survival campaign is pouring direct action pressure on insurers to stop insuring all new fossil fuel projects. Thousands of us took to the streets for powerful weeks of action in London, across the UK, and across the world in February and October 2024.
And it’s working. Giant insurers Zurich and leading underwriters Probitas announced they were pulling out of new oil and gas. Insiders tell us our huge nonviolent campaign has sparked major concerns and conversations about the need to change in many insurance board rooms.
What now?
Actions against insuring fossil fuels are still happening every week across the UK. In 2025, Insure Our Survival steps it up with big, bold, new plans and tactics to demand insurers pull the plug on the fossil fuel industry.
And we need you!
