18th International Anti-Corruption Conference

With the Paris Agreement, countries committed to mobilising USD 100 billion dollars per year to assist developing countries in tackling climate change. This money is funnelled through international mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund, and then relies on national or multilateral climate institutions to ensure it is used effectively on the ground. Along each stage, there are a myriad of opportunities for corruption to seep in and syphon off or redirect this money, threatening today’s vulnerable and all future generations. This workshop brings together the Green Climate Fund Integrity Unit, the Open Contracting Partnership, GIZ, Transparency International chapters and national level institutions to discuss new tools and partnerships for ensuring that climate flows to get to where they are needed to improve the living conditions and life options of some of the world’s most vulnerable. It will also capture concrete good practices and initiatives to mainstream SDG 16 into SDG 13.
