Climate Corruption Campaign - National Whistleblower Centre (NWC)

My Comment: Following on from my previous post on whistleblowing, I wanted to flag up this organisation, the National Whistleblowing Centre (NWC). It is a US based organisation that has been highly effective in pushing the agenda for effective Whistleblowing legislation and enforcing that legislation. Its Climate Corruption Campaign specifically targets the fossil fuel industry, illegal logging as well as shipping pollution. Notably, the US system provides for large rewards for whistleblowers, something that we are uncomfortable with in Europe but which have almost certainly led to major cases of corporate corruption being exposed. The issue of climate change is so important and so global that we need to be thinking in terms of radical initiatives such as whistleblower rewards in order to start bringing the fossil fuel industry to account and making politicians think twice before jumping into bed with them. We could learn a lot from them on this side of the Pond.
