The Maldives Anti-Corruption Conference 2024, organized by Transparency Maldives in collaboration with the Anti-Corruption Commission, focused on climate governance and corruption, a critical intersection for a nation facing existential threats from climate change. With substantial climate finance flowing into the country for mitigation and adaptation projects, this conference brought together government agencies, civil society organizations, and key stakeholders to address governance gaps, transparency challenges, and accountability mechanisms in climate finance management. Panelists from the Anti-Corruption Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, and Transparency Maldives discuss critical challenges in climate governance: from late disclosure of information and lack of technical expertise to gaps in Environmental Impact Assessment implementation. Key recommendations include strengthening monitoring mechanisms, creating centralized databases for climate finance, and ensuring EPA's independence for effective oversight. #ActivismArchive #AntiCorruption #ClimateGovernance #Maldives
