The case for decisive action – A dedicated resolution

The Environmental Crime and Corruption Working Group of the Global Civil Society Coalition for the UNCAC, comprising over 230 civil society organizations (CSOs) globally, calls on State Parties to prioritize preventing and combating corruption that enables crimes that affect the environment (CAE) and undermines environment and climate action as a central focus of UNCAC implementation. We call on States to adopt a strong dedicated resolution at CoSP11 with concrete, time-bound commitments and adequate support for technical assistance and capacity-building, while integrating environmental and climate considerations across other UNCAC processes and resolutions.
