Climate change was high priority for government external auditors in WGEA global survey in 2021. Tentative results of the 2024 survey indicate that this interest keeps on growing. But what does the INTOSAI WGEA audit database say about the global status of SAIs' audits on climate change? 🌏 Since 2020, around quarter of the environmental audits in the database deal with climate change. 🌍 Only few SAIs make a link to the SDGs in their climate audit reports or summaries. 🌎 Thus far, there are more audits on mitigation compared to adaptation. 🌍 Thus far, more climate audits have been made in Global North compared to Global South. #ClimateScanner developed by Tribunal de Contas da União and Cooperative Audit on Climate Change Adaptation Actions coordinated by INTOSAI DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (IDI) have a potential to increase the number of audits especially in Global South and on climate change adaptation.

Ms. Vivi Niemenmaa of VTV – Valtiontalouden tarkastusvirasto / Statens revisionsverk / National Audit Office of Finland and the INTOSAI WGEA shared remarks on #climateaudits from the #INTOSAIWGEA perspective, their wide breadth of initiatives, and the WGEA's extensive database of relevant audits.

If you're attending UKREiiF today you may be interested in our blog "Mapping the future of business" We asked Daniel Clements, Enterprise Sales Lead for Land & Property at Emapsite, about the power of location data to change commercial perspectives. “Our customers may not be aware of how much is possible today,” he explained, “especially as so much of the spatial services marketplace is fixated on risk. We believe the value of insight is not just around physical peril but also commercial opportunity. “When it comes to property investment, more often than not, the view is long-term and generally risk averse. We’re trying to bust that myth and show how people can realise value in the shorter term.” Take your insight to the next level, connect with Dan at UKREiiF today.
