This year's Conference of the States Parties to the UNCAC (CoSP10) is hosting a series of events on environmental corruption as part of a collaboration between several organisations, including the Basel Institute.

These events are freely open to virtual participation via Zoom, as well as in-person participation from CoSP delegates.
This event launched the new Environmental Corruption Deep Dive Report: Dirty deals: Case studies on corruption in waste management and trade.
