Energy Secretary Chris Wright argues that climate science is a victim of 
cancel culture: Scientific debate is stifled, alarmist claims are 
elevated and the truth is buried by partisan and corrupt researchers.

Indeed clean energy is a lucrative business for criminals. When a 
Sicilian renewable energy entrepreneur was jailed in 2018 for a corrupt 
scheme involving securing windfarm permits, EUR 1.3 billion in illicit 
funds were confiscated plus assets including 43 companies, 98 properties 
and fleets of cars and boats.

Did you pay extra to offset your carbon footprint last year? Carbon 
offsetting programmes and nature-based climate mitigation solutions, 
like the REDD+ forest conservation scheme and similar internationally 
funded projects, are a really important part of our global response to 
climate change. But they are also vulnerable to corruption. They can 
even fuel it, by channelling cash into contexts with weak governance and 
few controls.

Corrupt elites have a lot of practice in capturing foreign aid. So when 
there is a lack of transparency and accountability in the allocation and 
tracking of climate funding – not to mention allegations of financial 
mismanagement – corrupt officials find it even easier to game the system.
