Proud papa, outdoorsman, and passionate PS. Views are mine and mine alone. Unless you agree as it should be, or disagree and that is also fine with me.
Today at the opening of #IACC2024, I emphasized that corruption has fueled unprecedented threats to democracy - internally, exacerbating plummeting citizen trust in corrupt govts, and externally, enabling kleptocratic autocrats to undermine democracy across borders. ⬇️
Global threats like climate change, populist & kleptocratic regimes, and human rights violations are exacerbated by corruption. To counter these, we must scale up ambitious reforms that forge new global norms of openness. Join me and colleagues from June 18-21 at the #IACC2024.

A great honour to meet with so many inspiring Ukrainian democracy and open government reformers in Tallinn this evening - and to stand in solidarity with their fight for freedom.
