It’s not everyday that we get to bring you a triple dose of good news.

After tireless campaigning from organisations, including 350.org, **[the UK confirms it will leave the dangerous Energy Charter Treaty](https://350.org/a-big-win-the-uk-leaves-the-energy-charter-treaty/).** We’ve also seen **[rich nations resolve their disputes and appoint representatives to a crucial climate fund](https://act.350.org/sign/promises_loss_and_damage_2024/).** Finally, Probitas, a major insurance company, has **[refused to insure two major fossil fuel projects, one of which is the East African Crude Oil Pipeline](https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2024/03/04/probitas-pulls-out-of-eacop-and-west-cumbria-coal-mine/).**

**Wins happen because of people who keep taking action, always speaking truth to power**. These victories are not just wins; they are beacons of hope for our planet.

Picture this: after a relentless push from climate warriors nationwide, [**the UK has made the bold move to ditch the troublesome Energy Charter Treaty**.](https://350.org/a-big-win-the-uk-leaves-the-energy-charter-treaty/) This treaty was like a golden ticket for big fossil fuel companies to throw lawsuits at countries that dared to stand-up to them to tackle climate change. But not anymore! [With the UK soon to be out of the picture](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-departs-energy-charter-treaty), it’s like we’ve closed a door that once led to a maze of legal battles, giving our planet a breather from corporate bullying.

Now, onto the second triumph – **a tale of rich nations stuck in bureaucratic bickering while the clock ticked for our climate**. There was this crucial fund waiting to be unleashed for countries struggling with climate impacts, but the rich kids couldn’t agree on who gets a seat at the boardroom table. **Outrageous, right?** So, we launched a thunderous petition, [**rallying over 20,000 to demand they stop squabbling and get down to business**](https://act.350.org/sign/promises_loss_and_damage_2024/). And guess what? **They listened!** Now the fund can get on with ensuring money gets to the countries experiencing the devastation of climate impacts.

> **These victories aren’t just about paperwork or legal jargon; they’re about people coming together, raising voices, and creating ripples of change that turn into tidal waves of progress toward transformative climate justice.**

In a final win for our planet, **Probitas 1492, a major insurance player in London**, has officially declared that they will [**not be providing insurance for two massive fossil fuel projects**](https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2024/03/04/probitas-pulls-out-of-eacop-and-west-cumbria-coal-mine/): the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) and the West Cumbria Coal Mine.

This groundbreaking decision comes hot on the heels of a peaceful sit-in at Probitas’ lobby orchestrated by Christian Climate Action (CCA), a peaceful march by Extinction Rebellion activists, and a daring act of protest where the office was splattered with red paint by a fearless group called “Shut the System.”

**[The pressure from Insure Our Future Global Week of Action played a pivotal role in securing this victory](https://global.insure-our-future.com/thousands-take-part-in-powerful-global-week-of-action-demanding-insurance-industry-take-climate-action/).** It’s a testament to the power of collective action and a reminder that every voice and every action counts in our fight to protect the planet.

**Could you tell a friend or two about these victories?**
