Giovanna Eichner, shareholder advocate at Green Century Capital Management, said: “It's absurd for Chubb to continue to underwrite activities that are causing climate change and then turn around and pay for the claims caused by these activities.”

So it will come as a shock to the market that Chubb has taken the role of lead reinsurer for a coal-fired power plant in Vietnam.

Insurers saw the climate crisis coming and reassessed what they would insure. Many pulled cover from homes with wildfire risk – including Chubb.

They also looked at the causes of the climate crisis and many pulled cover from coal projects – including Chubb.

HSBC helped raise billions last year for companies expanding the production of coal in deals that seem to violate its coal phase-out policy

The bank was ranked the UK’s second largest funder of fossil fuel companies in a recent report by ‪@ran.org

HSBC was slammed at its AGM when we revealed it appeared to have breached its coal policy by funding coal expanders.

Today we reveal that it appears to have broken its coal policy for the second year running. Investors are rightly furious.

And on that site it said the game "aligns with our work to build future talent pipelines and secure permission to operate at a time of sensitivity around fossil fuels, particularly in light of approval for the Rosebank development".

And the promotion of the game appears to admit that it is an attempt to lobby children, saying it "aligns with our work to secure permission to operate at a time of sensitivity around fossil fuels, particularly in light of approval for the Rosebank development".

The company behind Rosebank has funded a computer game aimed at UK school children as young as 7, promoting the idea that fossil fuels can be part of a future energy mix.

Coal is the single biggest cause of global temperature rise

Nowhere are its harmful effects more obvious than at the notorious Cerrejón coal mine in Colombia, which is almost six times the size of Manchester 👇

If it was just one bank doing this, it might be the bank’s problem. But another banker told us that other big US banks were doing the same thing – and that the Fed was tacitly allowing it. That makes it the Fed’s problem.

If you owe the bank $100, it’s your problem. If you owe it $100m, it’s the bank’s problem. The same could be said for bank regulation.

Trump's government has said it will halt enforcement of a federal law that requires certain companies to declare their owners’ identities

Not only does this encourage fraudsters to do business on US turf – it also sends a message of apathy towards financial crime around the world

Trump’s scrapping of corporate transparency will strengthen dictators

The White House’s latest move doesn’t just encourage financial crime in the US – it encourages the acceptance of it everywhere else
