What we want

The science is clear. We need to halve greenhouse gas emissions by the end of the decade to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.  This requires urgent action by government and business.

Lloyd’s of London must stop insuring fossil fuels

Lloyd's insures some of the most damaging fossil fuel projects such as the Adani Coal Mine in Australia. It has also refused to rule out insuring the proposed East African Crude Oil Pipeline which will rip through Uganda and Tanzania. Without insurance these projects could not go ahead.

Companies such as Axa and Swiss Re have already stopped insuring coal, tar sands, and Artic energy because of their colossal climate impacts but Lloyd’s won’t stop providing cover until 2030!

We are calling on Lloyd’s to immediately stop insuring these hugely damaging activities, to rule out insuring all new fossil fuel projects, and to develop a plan to quickly phase down support for existing oil and gas.

The UK government must support a just transition away from fossil fuels

Every year the UK government spends billions supporting the fossil fuel industry through tax breaks and subsidies. We are calling on them to:

  • End all support for dirty energy and put a stop to licences for oil and gas exploration in the North Sea.

  • Kick start a major drive for energy efficiency and a massive expansion in clean renewable energy and green transport.

  • Support fossil fuel workers through the transition and ensure poor communities see the benefits of a low carbon economy.

  • Help ensure families across the world get the support they need to adapt to a changing climate and rebuild their lives in the wake of climate disasters.
