Environmental crime is lucrative, with its profits easily realised via financial crime and corruption. What is being done to trace illicit financial flows that facilitate environmental crime? And what about the illegally obtained profits derived from it?
The Basel Institute’s Green Corruption team is organising a special event at the 9th Conference of the States Parties (CoSP) to the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) to discuss this crucial barrier to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Panelists from government and civil society will explore current efforts and remaining gaps in following the money to attack environmental crime. The discussion covers perspectives from national law enforcement and from conservation.
