Blue Dot Climate Insurance creates and provides insurance policies that don’t simply respond to climate change but supports activities that help reduce or avoid it. Two examples are:

• Brownfield cleanups: EPA has found that the remediation and redevelopment of urban “brownfields” helps the climate enormously by reducing vehicle miles over 25%, and BDCI’s Principals may have created and applied more insurance policies to help public, private, and non-profit clients remediate and redevelop “brownfields” than anyone else. Our projects include what is likely the largest brownfield redevelopment ever (NGA’s $1.7B redevelopment of 100 acres in St. Louis), and what EPA awarded as the best reuse of any contaminated federal facility (the reuse of the McClellan Air Force Base in California).

• Wetlands: Insurance to support carbon credits associated with the protection of carbon-sequestering wetlands, without violating what’s known as the Miscellaneous Receipts Act.

Blue Dot’s name comes from the iconic photo of Earth, described by Carl Sagan as a Pale Blue Dot and underscoring humans’ responsibility “to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
