ClimateSure.co.uk
The activities that Climatesure covers – your driving and travel – are two of the main contributors to climate change. Flying and driving both produce CO2 and other greenhouse gases that are damaging the planet.
Climatesure is a unique insurance package. When you buy a policy, Climatesure will calculate the CO2 you produce by driving your car or flying overseas* and pay for it to be ‘offset’ by Climate Care, a leading carbon offset company.
This payment is part of the price, and doesn’t cost you any extra.
Climate Care offsets your CO2 emissions through funding sustainable energy projects, which will reduce CO2 emissions by the same amount as your activities produce.
* calculated based on gCO2/km and annual declared km for car policies and estimated for typical distances flown for travel policies. In respect of travel policies, the maximum offset provision within family worldwide products is limited to 40 hours

ClimateCare.org
Each time we heat our homes, take a flight or drive the car, CO2 is added into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is released when fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal are burnt.
We can all take simple steps to reduce the amount of CO2 we produce and we can also offset the rest. Offsetting means paying someone to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere on your behalf. In that way we can pay for the damage we are causing and the money helps to fund transition to a lower-carbon world.
Climate Care offsets your CO2 by funding projects around the world. These involve:
* Renewable energy – this replaces non-renewable fuel such as coal
* Energy efficiency – this reduces the amount of fuel needed
* Forest restoration – this absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere as the trees grow
So as well as taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint you can offset what remains, helping to promote low-carbon technologies where they have the greatest impact.
