Description
EU funding programmes for the mitigation of the causes of the climate change and adaptation to their economic and social impacts worth of hundreds of billions are currently being introduced in the Czech Republic without having the anticorruption robustness of the governmental measures, that imply them, secured. TI CZ thus launches the anticorruption watchdog PROKLIMA as a follow-up to it’s own methodical approach to the problems of „carbon corruption“, which has become one the organization’s current priorities. In the inter-disciplinary cooperation with other NGOs, TI will arrange the risk assessment of the carbon corruption within respective measures and projects, National Recovery & Resilience Plan, Territorial Just Transition Plan etc. and ensure the awareness of both expert and journalistic community while using the law for free access to information (106/1999coll.). We will organize roundtables, expert colloquiums and most of all push for the introduction of the precaution mechanisms directly into the implementation structure of the programmes, doing so in the dialogue with the authorities (Comittee of the National Recovery & Resilience Plan, Continuous Regional Conferences for Territorial Just Transition). We will act as advocacy agents at platforms for the participation of public on the decision making processes regarding the given programmes (for example Platform for the Modernisation Fund). This engagement will therefore provide much needed methods for the evaluation of the anticorruption robustness of the programmes and projects for the authorities themselves. Not only experts and journalists, but general public will have the opportunity to follow the process of green transition in the right context.
