  • Global development organizations came together at IACC 2024 to discuss ways of putting integrity at the heart of climate action, in a coordinated fashion.

  • The panelists acknowledged the urgency to work more closely in order to understand the risks, the importance of collective action and the role of civil society.

  • This session highlighted the findings of a joint UNODC and World Bank paper on climate and corruption. Practitioners are invited to review and provide suggestions and feedback, so feel free to contribute here.

The Practitioners Forum recognizes climate finance as an emerging area in anti-corruption and has a dedicated working group which you can join here if you haven't already.
