Global Climate Whistleblower Center

NWC launched this campaign to assist whistleblowers who wish to report crimes in the three industry sectors responsible for the vast majority of the world’s carbon pollution.

Climate-related disclosures are currently covered under federal law, and whistleblowers around the world can help U.S. law enforcement detect and prosecute climate-related fraud and corruption. Notably, the U.S. SEC recently emphasized that it will rely on whistleblowers to identify material gaps and misstatements in climate-related disclosures.

NWC has identified several industries that are at a high risk of fraud: those that are driving climate change like oil and gas, coal and industrial logging, as well as those providing oversight for these industries.

Learn more about areas at high risk for illegal activities due to the presence of concentrated extraction of fossil fuels, timber, and more.

NWC has taken a look at several high profile cases in industries with a high risk of fraud in order to highlight the type of fraudulent activities that can occur.

In a new report, NWC details widespread deception by fossil fuel executives regarding the financial risks of climate change and describes the danger this deception poses to the worldwide economy.

The Climate Risk Disclosure Lab seeks to support those in government, the private sector, and civil society who are working to address climate change and the risks it poses to the global financial system. The Lab is a joint initiative led by the National Whistleblower Center and two Duke think tanks.
