To Dr. Joachim Wenning, CEO of Munich Re, and all other insurance CEOs :

We're calling on you to stop insuring and investing in coal and tar sands. These are the worst fossil fuels driving climate change, and they pose a massive threat to the future of our planet and our children - as well as your insurance business.

Dr Wenning: kill coal, save our planet

Citizens from across the world are calling on Munich Re to stop insuring coal and tar sands now. The unpleasant reality is clear:
  • Munich RE losses from 3 hurricanes in 2017: € 2.7 billion (source)
  • People dying each year from extreme weather, climate change and air pollution: 12.6 million (source)
  • Leading insurers divesting from coal: 17 (source)
  • Leading insurers cutting coal coverage: 5 (source)
You have said that "on behalf of future generations, we should be making every effort to reduce CO2 emissions". It is time for you to put your wise words into action.
