The transcript documents Session 1 of a symposium on supranational responses to corruption, focusing on integrity in climate finance and the connections between integrity and climate risks. The chair moderates a conversation rather than paper-by-paper presentations, setting a framework for panelists to introduce their backgrounds and contributions. Speakers discuss corruption and integrity risks in climate solutions, including misuse of financial resources, climate washing, and abusive processes. Additional remarks address climate governance dynamics, accountability versus the energy transition timeline, and investigative journalism approaches to integrity risk in environmental and climate investigations.
