Jair Bolsonaro wants to expand Brazilian oil production by as much as 70% over the next decade ― despite the fact that such reckless expansion would lock in even more catastrophic climate change.
But there’s a catch: these fossil fuel projects can’t be built without insurance.
Our partners at Insure Our Future just revealed the insurance companies behind Brazil’s oil and gas expansion plans. Two of the main culprits? US insurance giants Liberty Mutual and Chubb.
Insurance companies are among the worst of the corporate greenwashers.Chubb CEO Evan Greenberg recently called the company a steward of the Earth and said, “Chubb recognizes the reality of climate change and the substantial impact of human activity on our planet.”
But in reality, Chubb is backing Brazil’s oil and gas expansion and all but guaranteeing ever worse climate chaos as a result.
More oil and gas will not only fuel global climate destruction, it will cause devastating impacts on local communities. Even worse, Brazil’s oil and gas expansion would occur in some of the world’s most sensitive ecological sites around the Great Amazon Reef, threatening critically endangered species like sea turtles and whales.
Can you help us stop these dangerous oil and gas expansion plans?
Because of the hundreds of phone calls and thousands of emails from all of you last September, Chubb dropped the toxic Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline. Now we need you to show up again to stop Brazil’s oil & gas expansion.
