Natural resources and energy

Renewable energy, prone to 'old corruption', reveals shared risks in Mexico and Kenya. Corruption impacts policymaking, planning, and communities, demanding tailored measures and robust implementation.

Carbon markets, while promising, lack transparency and robust oversight, posing integrity risks that necessitate enhanced cross-sectoral and international cooperation.

Parliamentary elections in 2024 may be an opportune moment for reformers to address shortcomings in how the economically important minerals sector is governed.

Green energy transition heightens corruption risks associated with land demands, potentially causing displacement and a "green resource curse." Interventions should target corruption, enhance accountability, and ensure equal participation, especially for affected communities like Indigenous Peoples.

The "green land rush" amid climate change and population growth, required for global climate pledges, poses corruption risks such as political interference, bribery, and fraud, especially impacting marginalized groups. Concerns include exacerbating inequalities for rural communities and Indigenous Peoples.
