The PTF Climate and Environment team has prepared a paper for presentation at the Second Symposium on Supranational Responses to Corruption held on May 9th and 10th 2024 with a focus on Integrity in Climate Finance & Action.
The paper focuses on three topics relating to climate action; namely:
- Integrity in the design and use of climate finance
- The massive increase in the voluntary carbon market and its underperformance with respect to carbon sequestration commitments, and
- The perceived trade-offs between reducing poverty and addressing climate change
It also identifies specific instances, drawing on case studies, where “general civil society organizations (CSOs)” may have a comparative advantage in facilitating climate action. It concludes by describing how general CSOs could play additional roles to facilitate greater integrity in climate finance and action.
