Partners for Transparency confirms that green corruption is a stumbling block to effective climate action
In a new study issued by Partners for Transparency, entitled “Green Corruption Undermines Efforts to Achieve Climate Justice,” it draws attention to one of the most important issues that have been gaining increasing interest in recent years, especially in light of the impact of these forms of corruption on the environment in general, and on the possibilities of achieving climate justice in particular.
The study focused primarily on the concept of green corruption and how interest in it has increased in light of international mechanisms for the protection of human rights. It also focused on the impact of the increase in this form of corruption on achieving climate justice, in addition to the best practices that can be followed in this context.
Commenting on the study, Mohamed Abdelhadi, Executive Director of Partners for Transparency, stressed that green corruption is a stumbling block to effective climate action, as it disproportionately affects marginalized communities that often bear the brunt of environmental degradation. Partners therefore recommends that relevant authorities work to ensure that anti-corruption measures take into account the needs of communities disproportionately marginalized by climate change and corruption.
