Linking the corruption, water and environmental agendas to combat climate change (pdf 220kb)

This publication looks at how corruption in the water sector contributes to water scarcity, large-scale pollution and the destruction of natural habitats - all factors which make our response to climate change more difficult.

It states that to reach the root of the problem, policy responses must reflect the positive linkages between combating corruption, preserving water and protecting the environment, whether the initiatives are nationally-devised, such as through irrigation subsidies, or internationally-driven, such as by the Kyoto Protocol.
