The grass is greener and the skies are bluer on the other side of the fence! I will no longer post on X and have created a convenient starter pack of fossil fuel finance campaign accounts which you can follow when you make the leap.

If 'careful consideration' results in the support of a 1500 mw gas power plant in one of the world's most corrupt and repressive countries, which is exporting electricity at that, you wonder whether the Swiss government pays any attention to climate change...
Swiss Export Risk Insurance (SERV) is now insuring one gas-fired power plant in Turkmenistan. Contractor Calik Enerji Swiss AG in Lucerne and the company General Electric Global Parts & Products in canton Aargau are set to benefit from the project. swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-polit…

There’s a BIG OPPORTUNITY next week in Paris. OCI report “Changing the Trade Winds” estimates $41Billion/yr could be shifted out of fossil fuels forever if the @OECD were to ban export finance for fossil fuels. #COP29 oilchange.org/content/upload…

How Swiss export credits for fossil fuel projects undermine international climate action and Switzerland’s credibility ahead of COP29: read my oped in today’s @TagesAnzeiger, Zurich’s main daily newspaper (in German only).
Meanwhile, @AxelMichaelowa and Philipp Censkowsky published a commentary on the same topic in @NZZ , the Swiss Wall Street Journal. High time for the Swiss government to do the right thing! nzz.ch/meinung/klimaschutz-d…

Replacing their aging workforce is one of the big challenges of the insurance industry. Fossil fuel insurers will find it difficult to attract young talent and their HR staff should support the #InsureOurFuture demands! varsity.co.uk/news/28351
Violating its climate commitments, Switzerland is supporting overseas gas projects with climate costs of >$63 bn. Now the country also blocks negotiations for a ban of such support in the OECD. Read my comment on the topic on my #SwissClimateRambles blog. swissclimaterambles.substack…
