Information

What do we do when political finance creates incentives for the powerful to destroy the environment? We will examine how running for office in many places is paid for by harming nature, and how this harms people and democracy itself. We'll hear of the impacts of this problem, exploring experiences in Indonesia, Zambia, the Philippines, and Peru. Join colleagues working from conservation to political finance to explore solutions.
