Integración de anticorrupción en la programación de la conservación
Summary
The document argues that the massive investments required to address the triple crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation create new corruption risks. It highlights a 2020 study from Bangladesh where 35% of climate adaptation funds were embezzled. To counter this, it recommends a three-step approach: understanding corruption's impact, assessing specific programming risks, and adapting strategies through inclusive nature-based solutions, increased transparency in carbon markets and climate finance, and the detection of illicit financial flows.
Key insights
- Addressing the triple crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation is estimated to require an investment of USD 8 trillion in nature by 2050.
- New investments in climate and nature restoration create new corruption risks that can divert resources away from mitigation, adaptation, and nature-dependency efforts.
- Research by Transparency International Bangladesh in 2020 regarding climate adaptation infrastructure projects since 2010 estimated that 35% of project funds were embezzled and nearly 80% of projects were poorly constructed due to corruption leaks.
- To protect climate progress, the document suggests strengthening integrity in climate finance, increasing transparency in climate-related decision-making, and promoting integrity in nature-based solutions.
