??How are insurance companies driving #fossilfuel expansion and harming local communities? As climate impacts are rising, insurers are turning to protect shareholder profits by reducing their coverage for at-risk communities while enabling fossil fuel expansion. Insure Our Future Global's new report reveals that over a third of total weather-related insured losses have been attributed to climate change from 2002 to 2022, totaling $600 billion. The report shared a ranking of world's 30 major re/insurers regarding their performance on fossil fuel policies. South Korea's Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance ranked 19th (awaiting confirmation) in underwriting and 18th in investment of fossil fuel restrictions. While it was the first Asian insurer to adopt modest coal restrictions, it still has to phase out support for coal companies unaligned with a credible 1.5oC pathway.
