Lloyd’s of London is making billions while insuring the worst fossil fuels projects -- adding more fuel to the fire.

As the world’s media focus on climate during the COP26, we have a golden opportunity to shed light on Lloyds’ climate wrecking business and make them feel the heat.

Next week our partners at Coal Action Network will organise a series of powerful actions to commemorate communities that are directly impacted by polluting projects insured by UK’s biggest financiers, such as Australia’s Adani Mine and the Cambo oilfield in the North Sea.

The activists will set up a climate justice memorial outside Lloyd’s of London and today they're asking you to take part in the action by sending your own message to Lloyd's staff members and execs.

Can you support this action by calling Lloyd's to rule out insuring climate chaos?

SEND YOUR MESSAGE

Your testimonial will serve as a memorial to the communities on the front lines of climate breakdown who are directly impacted by the ruthless consequences of Lloyd’s appalling environmental record.

By insuring the disastrous Adani mine in Australia and the TransMountain pipeline in Canada, Lloyd's is not only opening up some of the greatest untouched fossil fuel reserves on the planet, it is also wrecking the lands of vulnerable Indigenous communities.

Without insurance, these reckless schemes can't happen -- fossil fuels stay in the ground and a better future for the most vulnerable communities, you and me, is possible.

Can you support this powerful memorial action by writing a personal message we’ll send to Lloyd’s staff and execs?

Lloyd's is one of the oldest insurance businesses in the world -- and by far the worst. From the insurance of slave ships, to the insurance of climate-destroying projects that dispossess Indigenous peoples of their land, Lloyd’s literally have blood on their hands.

Citizen activists like you have already pushed 10 of Lloyd's biggest insurance syndicates to rule out insuring Adani’s toxic Carmichael mine in Australia and forced American insurance giant AIG not to renew its insurance for the mine.

All over the world, SumOfUs members are supporting Indigenous led grassroots campaigns to stop the world's biggest insurance companies' complicity in the climate chaos. Today let’s bring to life the memories of every person harmed by the injustices of the climate crisis and hold Lloyd’s accountable.

Thanks for all that you do,
Leyla, Charles and the team at SumOfUs
