Talking corruption and climate change in Latin America: live video stream

Climate money could be our ticket to a safe future, if it’s spent right.
From solar power, to carbon markets, to drought-resilient irrigation, the cost of halting global warming and coping with its effects will be colossal. By 2020 it is envisaged that US$100 billion will be flowing from donors to developing countries each year. On top of that, large sums will be generated domestically to shift economies onto a greener path.
Climate change has ushered in a new era of international cooperation and finance. New institutions are being built, new partnerships forged, new funding mechanisms tested.
Transparency International is working to ensure that these are shaped in a way that guarantees long-term effectiveness and resistance to corruption and fraud.
