By Secom / Serint
The TCU participated in the 5th Technical Meeting of the ClimateScanner Executive Group, held in Luxembourg from June 15 to 19. Organized by the TCU in partnership with the European Court of Auditors (ECA), the meeting brought together representatives from 15 Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), as well as experts, international organizations, and development banks to discuss the future of the initiative, the use of data, the production of analytical reports, and the project's sustainability.
The opening ceremony featured remarks by TCU Minister Bruno Dantas, the Head of SecexDesenvolvimento, Vanessa Lopes, ECA president, Tony Murphy, ECA Chamber member Joëlle Elvinger, and representatives Patricia Velasco (UNDP), Paula Cotovio (BNDES), Kátia Fenyves (IDB), Leonardo Nascimento (World Bank), and Sutthi Suntharanurak (INTOSAI WGEA).
In his speech, Minister Bruno Dantas emphasized that ClimateScanner reached a new stage, focused on consolidating the initiative and deepening the analysis of the results obtained. "We are now entering a different phase. The methodology has been developed, the training has been completed, the assessments have been conducted. The task of this Executive Group is no longer one of structuring, but of consolidation: to deepen the analysis of the results, to draw lessons from the evidence already available, and to ensure that ClimateScanner continues to be useful for the SAIs that apply it," he stated.
ClimateScanner is a global assessment of government climate actions related to governance, financing, and public policies for mitigation and adaptation. Within the TCU, the initiative is coordinated by the Department of Government Audit for Sustainable Development (SecexDesenvolvimento).
Auditors from the SAIs of Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Finland, Indonesia, Morocco, New Zealand, the Philippines, Slovakia, South Korea, Thailand, and the European Court of Auditors participated in the meeting.
