TI exposes how fossil fuel lobbyists infiltrate UN climate talks, risking the integrity of global climate action
Transparency International’s Behind the Badge report exposes how hundreds of fossil fuel lobbyists routinely infiltrate UN climate talks—sometimes even posing as official state delegates—undermining global climate ambitions. It warns that without robust conflict-of-interest rules, transparent accreditation, and stricter safeguards, corporate influence risks hijacking climate negotiations and eroding the integrity of the process
TI warns that AI can both fight and fuel corruption, urging strong safeguards to prevent its misuse and uphold integrity
New report from Transparency International highlights that while AI offers powerful capabilities for detecting corruption—such as identifying red flags in procurement and financial transactions—it also poses significant risks, including algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, and potential misuse by bad actors. It calls for robust legal frameworks, transparent audits, human oversight, and ethical standards to ensure AI strengthens rather than undermines anti-corruption efforts.

Key recommendations include enhancing transparency, fostering coordinated anti-corruption efforts, and increasing civil society involvement to safeguard climate funds and ensure their effective use in combating climate change globally…

Basel Institute raises concerns over Peru’s decision to abolish its landmark 2018 asset forfeiture law could undermine anti-corruption efforts and lead to FATF grey-listing
Peru’s law, which recovered over USD 94 million in illicit assets and tackled high-level corruption and crime, is under threat due to Congress passing Bill 3577-2022. This bill makes forfeiture conditional on criminal convictions, undermining the law’s core principle and jeopardizing thousands of ongoing cases, including those linked to former presidents…

OREO Index shows that no country meets ideal standards for preventing money laundering in real estate, with 10 of 24 jurisdictions scoring below 5 out of 10. Key weaknesses include poor access to ownership data and insufficient anti-money laundering safeguards, leaving global property markets wide open to abuse by corrupt actors….
