Adventures of a Climate Criminal

Ensure they cannot insure

From the association trying to stop Adani’s coal mine from ever seeing the light of day:

“Adani planned to ship the first coal from their climate-wrecking mega-mine in 2014. We’re now halfway through 2020 and not one lump of coal has left the Galilee Basin. 

“Why? Because time and time again, you joined with hundreds of thousands of others and said NO to Adani trashing the rights of the Wangan and Jagalingou people, guzzling our precious water, wrecking the Reef, and robbing us all of a safe climate.” 

The current point of attack is insurance companies:

“Adani need insurance to protect themselves from the risks of constructing and operating their destructive coal project. 

“And Adani’s coal project is incredibly risky. Our success pushing 70 companies to choose people and the climate over coal has forced Adani to build their mine in the slowest, riskiest, and most expensive way possible. 

“Our movement’s mission now is to stop the mine by stopping Adani’s insurance. And we’re already building incredible momentum. In just the last fortnight, you pushed FOUR insurers to pull the plug after their connection to Adani’s toxic mega coal mine was exposed in the media.

“After just a few short months of pressure, you pushed Adani’s insurance broker, Marsh, to be the only insurance broker IN THE WORLD to have anything that resembles a climate policy, leaving the door wide open for them to rule out Adani.”
