About This Course

Welcome to the Educational Course on Environmental Corruption We are pleased to welcome you to this on-demand educational course on Environmental Corruption, developed by PILnet and Transparency International – Russia in exile. Corruption remains one of the greatest threats to environmental sustainability. It fuels illegal logging and mining, undermines climate policies, and allows harmful practices to go unpunished - damaging ecosystems and communities across the globe. Tackling corruption is essential to promoting transparency, accountability, and the responsible stewardship of our planet. This course brings together the full recordings and presentation materials from our international webinar series held between March and June 2025. Through this series, you will explore the dynamics of “green corruption” and gain practical tools for identifying and addressing corruption in environmental governance. The course is designed for lawyers, students, civil society groups, environmental journalists, activists, and anyone interested in protecting nature through legal and anti-corruption tools. We hope this content will empower you to take action in your own context and contribute to a more just and sustainable world. Enjoy the course, and thank you for your commitment to environmental justice.
