Yes the need for resilience and adaptation to worsening extreme heat is urgent. Will Marsh ‘Turn Down the Heat’ by stopping brokerage for fossil fuel climate bomb extraction projects such as EACOP, Banshkhali Coal Power station and the Trans Mountain Tar Sands Pipeline?

It’s going to be critical to anticipate risk in the increasingly complex global geopolitical landscape, where climate chaos and weather systems cause mass migration, food and water shortages, rising sea levels and resource competition. International stability and security will be threatened for all. Will Marsh urgently stop brokerage for the fossil fuel extraction fuelling the climate emergency, and drop all links with the East African Crude Oil Pipeline that is estimated will emit 34million tonnes of carbon emissions each year?

Last week at the Energy Insurance conference you focussed on upstream oil and gas, aswell as energy transition and renewables - no doubt the timeline for transition to renewables was discussed. Antarctica's ice mass is melting on av. approx 136 billion tons per year - the urgency to do something is unparalleled. Will Marsh prevent soaring risk from climate change by immediately stopping brokerage for EACOP, Banshkhali Coal Power station and the Trans Mountain Tar Sands Pipeline?

Great idea to look at examples of successful engagements between lenders and insurers that help to mitigate the impacts of intensifying climate risks. Will Marsh McLennan recognise the impact of brokering and enabling fossil fuel extraction projects on the climate chaos that is fuelling these risks, and urgently transition away from involvement with EACOP and other such projects?

Climate change has a significant and multifaceted impact on mental health, with direct and indirect effects leading to anxiety, depression, and other psychological distress. Taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to the impacts of climate change can have positive mental health outcomes for employees affected by these issues. Could Marsh take action to reduce greenhouse gas output, by dropping brokerage for fossil fuel companies, and lead us forward in the transition to renewables?

Subject: Hosting industry events

Dear Sir/Madam

I understand that once again, the British Insurance Awards are taking place tonight at the Royal Albert Hall [1].

I am surprised that the main auditorium - which I and many others associate with the BBC Proms [2] and other quality live concerts and events - is being used for such a commercial venture.

While this event is supporting a worthwhile charity [3], many of the 2025 finalists - and some of the award sponsors, even in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) categories - rank poorly for their continued support of fossil fuel projects [4]. This doesn't square with the sustainability initiatives your website describes [5].

Along with fossil fuel enablers, there will be insurance companies attending who are continuing to invest in and underwrite companies arming Israel’s genocide in Gaza. [6]

This is a private event: but I do wonder whether the Royal Albert Hall would host such an event if they were required to publish all such arrangements?

Yours sincerely

👏 👏 Great to see the AXA Foundation for Human Progress launched this week!
Big ideas for a resilient future are what’s needed within this increasingly risky world, marked by the challenges of climate change. Will a supported high-impact project include the development of transformative policies for AXA to rule out insuring LNG, & fossil fuel ‘exception’ projects by companies in transition?

Inspired to see this platform with real time analytics on environmental and climate risks. Will AXA prevent growing climate risk by ruling out insurance of Liquid Natural Gas projects such as Cameron LNG, Louisiana, USA? Insured tankers are delivering fracked gas to Europe from the terminal, and the infrastructure is destroying the local Cameron community with pollution and causing coastal erosion. #AXA4Climate #AXAUNOC3

Amazing work and partnership to turn knowledge into action to protect coastal ecosystems. Can AXA take the next step and drop insurance of LNG gas companies that are contributing to global warming?

https://xrb.link/t3Xro8Gq0
Sounds like a powerful tool to help communities adapt and respond rapidly to widlfires. Can AXA now move away from insuring LNG and fossil fuel projects that are contributing to climate chaos?

A really interesting read! The IGCC Report cautions that the 1.5°C objective will be unattainable unless immediate, substantial reductions in emissions are implemented, particularly from fossil fuels and deforestation. Will AXA lead the way and stop insuring Liquid Natural Gas Terminals in the US & fossil fuel ‘exception’ projects, and drop insuring Drax (UK’s largest biomass power station)?
