Speakers: Alanna Markle, Policy and Research Manager, and Agustina De Luca, Senior Advocacy Manager, Open Ownership.

• Actors from government agencies to journalists are already using information on beneficial ownership to conduct investigations, make decisions, and perform analyses in areas such as natural resource governance.
• Further expanding data use is key to achieving greater accountability in policy aims related to climate and the environment, including fighting environmental crime and ensuring integrity in the energy transition.
• Open source tools are available that make it easier to understand and use beneficial ownership information and combine it with other datasets, though more progress is needed globally on making the data interoperable.
