Environmental accounting isn’t just about numbers; it’s about integrating nature into national priorities. SAIs can lead the way.

Robin Degron puhui tarkastusvirastojen ympäristötyöryhmän kesäkokouksessa ylimpien valvojien roolista. Tarkastusvirastot voisivat haastaa ministeriöitä ylittämään hallinnonalojen rajoja, jotta esim. ilmastonmuutokseen liittyviin ongelmiin voisi vastata tehokkaammin. @wgeasecretariat.bsky.social
