Clean and Green: a manifesto on how the UK’s anti-corruption efforts can help tackle environmental harm

As the world faces a triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, and the UK government warns that “every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse”, the need to accelerate action against environmental harm is clearly more urgent than ever. 

The clean and green manifesto – developed in consultation with civil society organisations working to counter corruption and environmental harms and promote social justice – identifies five areas of consensus where anti-corruption efforts could help tackle environmental harm to promote an economy that is both clean and green. 30 civil society organisations have endorsed the manifesto’s recommendations.

If implemented, these measures are designed to ensure corrupt actors who engage in environmental harm are exposed and held to account, public spending to address climate change is transparent and fair, and public policy to address environmental harms is not undermined.
