Transparencia Mexicana

Transparencia Mexicana (TMX) has among its objectives the effective control of corruption, through public policies and private behaviors that generate changes in the institutional framework and in the culture of legality in Mexico. TMX will analyze the financing sources directed to emergencies and climate disasters, with an emphasis on the loss and damage agenda. The results will contribute to identifying information and transparency gaps in financing when addressing disasters linked to the climate crisis.
