IMPORTANT ➡️ Nearly 15% of COP29 participants didn’t disclose who they represent, many wore official state badges. This loophole lets polluters shape global climate policy.

#COP30 ➡️ Over the last years, an increasing number of fossil fuel lobbyists have been attending the conference, resulting in weak fossil fuel related decisions.

🚨 Failing to address conflicts of interest and undue influence in climate will put millions of lives at risk.
Image description: The image shows the viral meme of the Mother Ignoring Kid Drowning In A Pool. It shows a woman lifting up one child in a pool while another child behind her struggles to swim. For this meme, the mom is the COP30, the child lifted are the fossil fuel lobbyists, and the kid drowning is the earth. The text on top says: Conflict of interest makes climate action ineffective. #anticorruptionmemes

🚨 Our new report shows that most governments don’t publish political finance data online.

That means citizens are left in the dark about where campaign money comes from and how it’s spent.

🔴 Ongoing peaceful protests in Madagascar come after years of corruption that have denied citizens access to basic public services and fundamental freedoms.

🔗 Read our statement: anticorru.pt/3eU
Image quote: "The peaceful protests by Madagascan citizens, particularly from Generation Z, are the result of several years of corruption that have weakened the country both in terms of human rights and the economy. We have experienced a particularly challenging decade during which freedom of expression was severely restricted and the population struggled to enjoy their basic rights." - Mialisoa Randriamampianina, spokesperson for Transparency International Madagascar.

🔴 Nicolas Sarkozy, the former president of France, has received a five-year jail sentence after being convicted of criminal conspiracy. The case involves millions of euros in illegal funds from the late Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, and exposes urgent gaps in political finance oversight. ⬇️

Our colleague Brice Böhmer, Climate & Environment Lead at Transparency International, highlights that “when vital climate funds are lost to mismanagement and corruption, it puts lives at risk."
Our colleague @BohmerBrice, Climate & Environment Lead at Transparency International, highlights: “As our world heats we’re already seeing extreme weather impacts from floods to super-storms – countries need to be taking action now to adapt and mitigate to help keep communities safe. When vital climate funds are lost to mismanagement and corruption it puts lives at risk. The government of the Philippines must do more to ensure that money intended for climate action is used to protect its people."

We’re calling on governments to adopt this new integrity pledge to prove they represent the public interest, not polluters.

Great news! 🔵 Former German Bundestag member Eduard Lintner has been convicted in the #AzerbaijaniLaundromat case.

We welcome this historic step in holding a European politician accountable for their role in this massive corruption scheme.

Our statement here: anticorru.pt/3dB
Maíra Martini, CEO of Transparency International, said: “Today’s verdict shows that justice is possible, even in complex transnational corruption cases. Authorities in other countries linked to the Azerbaijani Laundromat scheme should follow Germany’s example and take action to ensure that those who took bribes and helped whitewash repression do not escape scrutiny.

We are extremely concerned to see the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, where more than 100 international aid organisations and human rights groups are warning of mass starvation.
We are extremely concerned to see the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, where more than 100 international aid organisations and human rights groups are warning of mass starvation. We have colleagues at AMAN-Transparency Palestine (Transparency International Palestine) who remain in Gaza with their families and are experiencing chronic hunger and dehydration, in unimaginably dire conditions.. As a global movement committed to fighting for a world without corruption, we believe that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and to live safely and freely in their country. We stand with our colleagues across the region and support calls for an immediate ceasefire, the opening of all land crossings, and the free and safe flow of humanitarian aid through UN-led mechanisms. We are also appealing for the urgent release of all remaining hostages.
