Safeguarding Our Planet: Tackling Corruption in Climate Action

Global development organizations have a critical role to play in shaping the response to climate change and in ensuring that corruption doesn’t undermine our collective response to the intertwined challenges of climate adaptation, mitigation and the green transition. This is still an emerging policy area in anticorruption that requires coordinated and targeted responses. This high-level session will build on the momentum of the last year – the World Bank’s AC4D Global Forum, a session at COP28 convened by the IMF and WB, and UNODC’s climate focused sessions at COSP10 to advance the discussion and identify priority areas for action. The session will highlight findings from a joint paper on climate and corruption and emphasize the role of international organizations in this agenda.
