Corruption and crimes that affect the environment (illegal deforestation, crimes in the fisheries and minerals sectors, wildlife and waste trafficking, among others) are deeply intertwined and are mutually reinforcing. Recognising this link, States Parties to the UNCAC adopted Resolution 8/12. 

Organizada en el marco del Día Internacional contra la Corrupción, la Semana de la Integridad 2025 reunirá a especialistas nacionales e internacionales para abordar tendencias, desafíos y enfoques contemporáneos en materia de integridad pública, prevención de la corrupción y gobernanza.

Durante tres días se desarrollarán once sesiones virtuales centradas en temas como corrupción verde, gestión de conflictos de intereses, recuperación de activos, inteligencia artificial, riesgos de corrupción y delitos contra la administración pública.

The minerals sector is confronting major challenges that demand not only urgent, but coordinated action. For this reason, the Countering Environmental Corruption Practitioners Forum is launching a new Minerals Corruption Working Group.

Corruption remains a defining feature of mineral extraction worldwide, undermining regulations, enabling environmental destruction and diverting revenues away from national economies.

Illicit financial flows in commodity trading – and beyond – undermine entire economies and deprive developing countries of vital funds for sustainable development.

At the same time, reconstruction projects must fully address the risks posed by illicit flows and corruption.

This in-person event will examine these challenges and discuss the responsibilities and practical options for stakeholders including development agencies, banks, financial service providers and public authorities.
