John,
The fossil fuel industry has found its next target: the Coral Triangle—the most biodiverse marine ecosystem on Earth.
This extraordinary marine ecosystem is home to 76% of the world's coral species and supports the lives and livelihoods of 360 million people. Yet fossil fuel companies want to carve it up with dirty fossil gas terminals and pipelines.
But they have a problem: without insurance, none of these projects cannot move forward.
Right now, executives at Allianz, AXA, Zurich, Tokio Marine, Munich Re, and others are quietly deciding whether this Earth's greatest natural wonders becomes a sacrifice zone for gas profits. They are betting no one is watching.
Let’s prove them wrong, John.
If thousands of us come together, we can show insurers that backing this destruction comes with enormous reputational and financial risks. We've seen it happen before. Public pressure has pushed insurers away from some of the world's most controversial fossil fuel projects — and we can do it again.
Tell insurers: hands off the Coral Triangle!
Fossil gas projects bring dredging, toxic discharge, oil spills, and constant industrial shipping into sensitive marine ecosystems. Coral reefs–already under stress from warming oceans–face irreversible damage. Mangroves and seagrass beds, critical for carbon storage and coastal protection, are destroyed.
But the consequences are not just environmental, they are also deeply human.
More than 360 million people depend on the Coral Triangle for food, income, and protection from climate disasters. When reefs die and fish stocks collapse, communities lose livelihoods, food security declines, and climate vulnerability deepens.
And yet despite their own climate commitments, insurers continue to back these projects.
We have seen before that when insurers withdraw support, projects stall. Ekō campaigns targeting fossil fuel insurance have already forced dozens of insurers to step away from destructive projects like the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). Now, we have a chance to do the same in the Coral Triangle.
Together, we can cut off the support these projects need to go ahead.
Sign the petition: Protect the Coral Triangle. Stop insuring fossil fuels.
When people around the world come together, we can shift corporate behavior and protect ecosystems at scale. This is our moment to stand with frontline communities, defend one of the planet’s greatest natural wonders, and demand a future beyond fossil fuels.
