Pick Your Target & Demands
Where is your closest insurance office?
The first step is to figure out which insurers are near you and what your demands are.
First take a look at what insurance office is close to you Insurance Offices Map.
Then find more details on each insurance office in this UK Insurance Offices Guide which lists the office addresses and the projects they have ruled out.
We will also be sending out the names of insurers we will specifically target at set times, although you’ll be welcome to visit all insurers and return to ones we’ve targeted before - unless they’ve listened to us!
Demands:
- No New Fossil Fuels - No insurers have ruled out insuring all new fossil fuel. We should demand this of all of them.
- StopEACOP - If the insurer your targeting hasn’t ruled out EACOP demand thay do that immediately.
- Stop West Cumbria Mine - If the insurer hasn’t ruled our WCM then demand thay do that immediately.
How to use the UK insurance offices guide
Example : Belfast
In Belfast you can see that QBE Underwriting is a possible target. They have ruled out Adani, TMX and EACOP. That means that they haven’t ruled out insuring the West Cumbria mine, so demands would be:
- No New Fossil Fuels - No insurers have ruled out insuring all new fossil fuel. We should demand this of all of them
- Stop West Cumbria Mine - If the insurer hasn’t ruled our WCM then demand thay do that immediately.
