Climate change leads to extreme weather events that harm populations, ecosystems and public services, especially in the most vulnerable regions. As a result, infrastructure must become more sustainable to adapt to these challenges.
Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) play a crucial role in auditing public policies and ensuring the proper and efficient use of public resources. Therefore, it is essential to establish institutional requirements that allow SAIs to focus on climate resilience, environmental protection, and human rights.
Additionally, information and communication technology (ICT) enables data driven decisions and thereby enhances audit processes. Besides, institutionalising exchange formats promotes ongoing collaboration and knowledge sharing.
