Economic Development has set up a programme to introduce greater transparency in the use of the massiveoil revenues accruing to the state oil fund, SOFAR, in order to curb the misappropriation of these publicresources and subject SOFAR to greater public scrutiny. These case studies show that civil society activismcan be very effective provided the approach respects a number of key principles: (i) the monitoring and surveywork should be highly disciplined and professional to gain respect from officials and the public; (ii) whereverpossible the approach should be non-confrontational; (iii) the CSOs involved need to patiently buildnetworks of influence by identifying and working with key champions of reform within the power elite; and(iv) to focus primarily on reform of accountability systems rather than pursue contentious individual cases ofcorruption.Moderator: Peter Eigen, Founder, Transparency International and Chair, Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative EITIRapporteur: Anabel Cruz, Chair, CIVICUS Board, Vice-Chair of Board of Directors of Partnership for Transparency Fund and Director,Instituto de Comunicacion y Desarrollo, Uruquay.Panellists: Vugar Bayramov, Chair, Centre for Economic and Social Development; AzerbaijanAlfred Brownell, President, Association of Environmental Lawyers of Liberia (Green Advocates)Dolgormaa Lodoisambuu, Toxic and Mining Officer, WWPierre Landell-Mills, President, Partnership for Transparency11:00 – 13:00 Workshop 6.5Nikos Skalkotas Hall / L. -1Financing for Climate Change: An Opportunity for Improved GlobalGovernance, or the Next Resource Curse?Stream 3: Climate ChangeCoordinators:Toby Quantrill, Head of International Governance, WWF-UKRobert Barrington, Director of External Affairs, Transparency International (UK)To solve the challenges posed by climate change, we need to understand and address the deeperissues of unsustainable consumption and inequality in society and the drivers of these problems.Climate change both contributes to, and is exacerbated by poor governance. In recent years we haveseen increasing understanding of, and commitment to, the need for significant investment of resourcesinto climate mitigation and adaptation activities. The nature of this financing, in terms of quantity,allocation, donors and recipients is already under intense negotiation. A more detailed picture shouldemerge through the UNFCCC negotiations leading to the post 2012 Kyoto agreement. But alreadyclimate change related markets (essentially for carbon trading) and climate relating financing areflourishing and projected to grow. The experience of Overseas Development Aid demonstrates that poorgovernance (whether real or perceived), at all levels, can significantly undermine public confidence in,and support for, large scale flows of international funding. Effective markets need trust and transparencyto encourage trading and reduce volatility and risk premiums. While there are potentially great benefitsto certain countries from climate relating markets and financing, there are also major corruption risksthat could undermine these public and private initiatives. The governance structures now being putin place to manage climate funding are likely to have a significant influence over the way that futurestructures will operate, post 2012. This workshop therefore seeks to explore where, how and on what scale80
Megaron Athens International Conference Centrecorruption may occur and how this will impact negatively on mitigation/adaptation efforts. It will also aimto identify the extent to which the corruption issue in the context of climate change has dimensions thatare different from the ‘traditional’ aid and corruption issues The workshop will also seek to raise awareness ofclimate change related issues within the anti-corruption community, and equally, seek to develop increasingawareness within the climate change community of the specific aspects of corruption which couldundermine current efforts.Moderator: David Nussbaum, WWF-UKRapporteur: Toby Quantrill, WWF-UKPanellists: Chandrashekhar Krishnan, Executive Director, Transparency International (UK)Shane Tomlinson, Programme Leader: Systems for Change, E3GOliver Tickell, Independent Author and JournalistPeter Zamen, Partner, Clifford Chance11:00 – 13:00 Workshop 6.6Dimitris Mitropoulos Hall / L. 0Asia Pacific Human Development Report: Tackling Corruption,Transforming LivesStream 4: Sustainable GlobalisationCoordinator:Anuradha K. Rajivan, Regional Programme Coordinator, UNDP Regional Centre ColomboCorruption has been seen as inevitable - unpleasant and unethical, but probably unavoidable. Now,however, it is increasingly being challenged as unacceptable across Asia Pacific and the world. In theprocess, eliminating corruption that plagues people’s daily lives must become a priority: widespreadmalfeasance corrodes health care, education and public utilities. Blatant injustice occurs throughcorrupt police and courts. Cross-border corruption, propelled by transnational businesses, plundersforests and depletes other scarce natural resources.The latest Asia-Pacific Human Development Report - Tackling Corruption, Transforming Lives - showshow everyone eventually loses from corruption, focusing on why it hurts the poor the most and whatcan be done about it. The expert panel debate aims to demystify lesser knows aspects of corruption,draw linkages to poverty and human development and, most importantly, focus on what can be done.The debate will bring together eminent panellists involved in anti-corruption reform from across AsiaPacific to discuss issues facing developing countries battling against corruption so that the freedomsand choices for everyday people, particularly the poor, can be bolstered.The panellists will look at issues from different perspectives (government, the police, media, judiciary,etc) and see how actors at different levels can combine pressure from above and below to institutionalisechecks and balances to halt the spread of corruption and achieve higher human developmentgains. Looking at good practices from across the region, the panellists will see how these efforts can bestrengthened and scaled up to maximize anti corruption outcomes for developing countries.Moderator: Nisha Pillai, Presenter, BBC World NewsRapporteurs: Ramesh Gampat, Deputy Programme Coordinator, Human Development Report Unit, UNDP Regional Centre in ColomboOmar Siddique, Policy & Programme Analyst, Human Development Report Unit, UNDP Regional Centre in ColomboSunday, 2 November81
