Activist group Market Forces claims that 10 leading insurance companies have ruled out providing coverage for Adani’s Carmichael coal mine in Queensland. They are said to include global insurers such as Allianz and AXA, as well as Australia’s QBE and Suncorp. Market Forces executive director Julien Vincent says insurers have the power to ensure that the mine does not proceed. Adani has scaled back the size of the project and announced that it will be self-funded after banks refused to provide financing for it.
