Webinar with Dieter Zinnbauer, Transparency International

Date: January 16, 2018, 2 – 3 pm CET

Ample evidence suggests that corruption has the toxic potential to disrupt both our ambitions for urban development as well as our response to climate change. The webinar unpacked the relationship between these three issues and provided an outlook on possible policy responses. More specifically, the following three questions were discussed:

  • How do urbanisation, corruption and climate change interact? What are the main dynamics and interrelationships?
  • What are the major corruption obstacles and risks on the path towards resilient, green, climate-adapted cities?
  • Based on the experience of tackling corruption in related areas what are viable policy responses and practical action options to respond to the urban-climate-corruption challenge?
