Profit over Planet: Harnessing Data to Expose & Halt Big Polluter Influence in Climate Action

International Anti-Corruption Conference

From the COP to the hallways of parliaments, big polluters are derailing advances in climate action. Corporate lobbyists exploit the path towards a sustainable future through their financial arsenal. Evidence of this is key to holding their actions to account. In this workshop at the 2024 International Anti-Corruption Conference, speakers will explore how data empowers citizens to change a system of undue influence that puts profits over the planet.

This event is coordinated by Transparency International Secretariat (TI-S) and InfluenceMap.
