This afternoon in @UKParliament, we conducted our AGM.

We're pleased to announce our APPG officers for an exciting and important year ahead.

As last week’s @APPGIntlCons & @APPGAntiCorrupt briefing on the latest @WJCommission report showed, wildlife trafficking, illegal logging & smuggling are driven by the same criminal networks.

🌍 Yesterday in #London, the WJC participated in a joint briefing to the @APPGIntlCons & @APPGAntiCorrupt at the UK Parliament, exploring the intersection of environmental crime and corruption. The briefing “How Dirty Money is Destroying the Planet”, was convened by @BarryGardiner and @josephpowell and explored the intersection of environmental crime and corruption, and actions to be taken.

As chair of the @uncaccoalition Working Group on Environmental Crime and Corruption, we stressed the urgency of tackling #corruption that fuels crimes that affect the environment (CAE) - including #wildlifetrafficking – and its impacts on climate mitigation and adaption efforts.

Ahead of the 11th UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) Conference of the State Parties this December, we urge States Parties to adopt a strong resolution ensuring that the UNCAC is fully leveraged to prevent, detect, and sanction corruption that facilitates CAE and climate harm.

➡️ There can be no effective environmental protection or climate action without confronting corruption head-on.

🙏Thank you to the APPG Chairs, UK Parliamentarians and ICCF Group/ICCF UK for hosting this important discussion, and to @TRAFFIC_WLTrade , @savetherhino & @geckoproj for their great insights.

Solving this won’t happen in silos. We need coordinated action across sectors.

[APPG International Conservation @APPGIntlCons]

Experts at today’s joint briefing with @APPGAntiCorrupt made it clear: environmental & wildlife crime isn’t just destructive - it’s organised crime, fuelled by political & corporate corruption

Law enforcement, banks & international policymakers face systemic challenges.
