INSURE OUR SURVIVAL

SEPTEMBER PHASE OF INTERNATIONAL ACTION

GET INVOLVED

INSURANCE IS
THE ACHILLES’ HEEL

Fossil Fuels and International Arms are big business, but they’re killing us and the planet.

But without insurance, business isn’t possible.

Pipelines don’t get built. Bombs don’t get made.

Without insurance, the machinery of extraction and genocide can’t function.

We take action to disrupt insurance companies who enable destruction, pushing them to stop the suffering.

And it’s working.

a black van with a digital display board on the back reads 'WE WILL MAKE YOU ACCOUNTABLE' in large pink letters. The ban is parked outside the front of Lloyds of London, a building with many insurance companies within it.

3 protesters - one with an arm raised in a fist of defiance - sit on top of the revolving door canopy at the Walkie Talkie building in London. Large letters printed on pink paper spelling out 'INSURING FOSSIL FUELS = CLIMATE CHAOS' are temporarily fixed to the glass front of the building. 2 people in high-vis at the ground floor are adding more lettering to the front. The word 'INSURANCE' can be read. In the near focus, a member of security looks past the camera

In the foreground, 3 Activists dressed professionally stand defiantly on a raised seating area outside the glass-fronted building of the MarshMcLennan Insurers head office, holding up red 'budget boxes' with the words 'FAMINE', 'FLOOD' and 'WAR'. A large black, round inflatable prop (about 2 metres tall) with white letters 'CO2' on it to represent a "carbon bomb" is behind them. In the distance, a large banner can be seen 'INSURING CLIMATE CHAOS' and with more protestors behind it.

INSURERS FEEL THE PRESSURE

Most of the biggest Insurers are underwriting environmental destruction and human rights abuses — and the world is starting to notice.

Unlike arms and fossil fuel companies, insurance companies don’t need to support destruction to make money. They also understand risk.

Since launching in 2024, Insure Our Survival has led or supported over 170 actions across the globe.

Together with others, we’ve helped force major firms to drop coverage for specific projects like the East African Crude Oil Pipeline or rule out supporting new fossil fuels altogether.

Now, we’re broadening our attention to include insurers backing regimes that commit mass human rights violations — including those arming and enabling the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Insurance companies judge risk to create profit. Our actions bring the risks they create to their front doors.

SEPTEMBER 2025: GLOBAL ACTION WAVE

From 8th to 22nd September 2025, we’re calling for coordinated, nonviolent action around the world to expose and disrupt the insurance companies fuelling both climate collapse and violent repression.

We’ll target the potential insurers of at least 425 carbon bomb projects currently planned or under construction as well as companies complicit in supplying tools of occupation, surveillance, and state violence.

We have a plan to work with numerous global groups to put the maximum pressure where it has the best chance of success.

ARE YOU READY TO TARGET THE ENABLERS?

It takes a global community to make global change.

Actions ae already planned across five continents.

From Tanzania to Costa Rica, Nigeria to the UK, people are rising up — and we’re here to connect and support.
