Course Description
Environmental crime generates between 110 to 281 billion US dollars in annual illegitimate proceeds. Environmental criminals have deep connections with financial sectors. Criminals and transactions must be identified and verified by organizations such as banks, insurance companies, brokerage houses, and other entities. Environmental criminals and individuals who indulge in money laundering, bribery, and corruption should be avoided from being onboarded by the organizations.
Environmental crimes are incorporated into financial crimes. Thus, there are measures to prevent the occurrence of money laundering and terrorist financing risks and incidents. Enforcement strategies will also be vital in these circumstances.
This certificate program is a training program including the core concepts of environmental crime and how it impacts the environment, humans, society, and the economy. It will also cover how environmental crimes are carried out, the financial crimes linked with environmental crimes, and the intervention to assess and prevent these.
