CLIMATE activists in Scotland are targeting insurance companies in protests on Tuesday, demanding they stop insuring climate criminals.

The action is part of Extinction Rebellion’s (XR) Insure Our Survival campaign calling on insurance firms to stop underwriting all new oil, gas and coal projects.

Activists dressed as zombies will protest outside the offices of global insurance firm the Howden Group in Glasgow. XR says the company insures firms involved in developing the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline.
