JusTRAC+ CoP Meeting: Corruption-facilitated Environmental-related Transnational Organized Crime

Wednesday, May 26, 2021 | 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM
JusTRAC+ Community of Practice Meeting focused on the Nexus of Transnational Crime and Corruption
Topic: Corruption-facilitated Environmental and Pollution-related Transnational Organized Crime
Users joined distinguished panelists from the USG to explore and gain insights on the webinar topic - Corruption-facilitated Environmental and Pollution-related Transnational Organized Crime. There is fertile ground in the USG for addressing transnational organized crime (TOC) given its negative impact on the Biden Administration’s stated priorities of anti-corruption, national security, and climate change. Consistent with the Administration’s efforts at the recent Climate Summit and beyond, highlighting strategies for addressing corruption-facilitated environmental and pollution-related transnational organized crime illustrates common challenges in the nexus area and provides a starting point for shared learning and coordinated action for both TOC and climate change.
