Partners for Transparency has released a new study titled “Environmental Governance as a Framework for Combating Green Corruption.” This study seeks to delve deeper into the concept of environmental governance as a strategy for combating green corruption, an important aspect of environmental management that is often overlooked. It addresses the key components of environmental governance, emphasizing the need for strong institutional frameworks, legal measures, and public participation. Effective institutional frameworks are essential to clearly define responsibilities and reduce opportunities for corruption.
She pointed out that combating green corruption is not just a regulatory challenge; rather, it is a moral imperative that requires a transformative approach to environmental governance. By adopting the principles of green governance, we can create a resilient and sustainable future that honors people and the planet.
Partners Foundation also stressed through the study that legal measures must be strengthened to address not only the perpetrators of environmental corruption but also the systemic issues that allow such practices to flourish. This includes developing comprehensive anti-corruption laws that specifically target environmental crimes and implementing strict enforcement mechanisms.
