For Future Nigeria (FFFN), a climate activist NGO has joined a global fight demanding insurance companies around the world and in Nigeria ensure fossil fuel projects, such as to stop immediately and start taking action on climate. This FFF Nigeria IOF Climate protest is part of a global week of actions organised by the Insure Our Future network, running from February 26 to March 33. Demands to the industry include immediately stopping insuring new fossil fuel projects, phasing out support for existing coal, oil, and gas projects, respecting human rights, and supporting a just transition. “Burning fossil fuels is the number one cause of the climate crisis, and fossil fuel projects—coal, gas, and oil—cannot operate without insurance. This puts the insurance industry in a uniquely powerful position to have an impact on the future of our world.
