BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Paris council calls on insurers to stop covering coal projects

May 04, 2018 Reprints

The Council of Paris has called on chief executives of the world's largest insurers and reinsurers to stop insuring coal projects and help fight global warming, Mining.com reported. Insurers including Germany-based Allianz S.E. and Italy-based Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. are likely to cover projects such as new coal mines and 15 gigawatt of new coal power in Europe. The council passed a motion appealing specifically to insurers with which the city has contracts to remove their support for projects and companies in the coal sector in the European Union.
