This morning, we showed up to the Annual Shareholder meeting to call out the role of property & casualty insurers in climate change and make the public cost of climate damage visible.

Across the country, climate disasters are making it harder for families to afford or even keep home insurance. Premiums are rising. Coverage is shrinking. Communities that are already carrying the heaviest burdens are being asked to pay again.

Here in Connecticut, we know the insurance industry well. We are the “Insurance Capital of the World.” That means we also have a responsibility to lead.

Property and casualty insurers know climate chaos is here. They warn about the rising risks of floods, storms, fires, and extreme weather. Then, at the same time, major insurers keep investing in and underwriting fossil fuel projects that make those disasters worse.

Advocates will continue to make the public cost of Travelers investments visible, and continue the work to hold these companies accountable in the 2027 Connecticut legislative session.
