Crimes that affect the environment cross borders and are often linked to organized crime & corruption.
At the @UN General Assembly High-level Debate, countries discussed how to strengthen criminal justice responses and int'l cooperation.

🟢At the Rio Nature and Climate Week, one message was clear: nature and climate commitments mean nothing if criminal networks keep destroying our forests, oceans and wildlife with impunity.
This has to change.
More convictions, less impunity

Criminal networks are drivers of environmental degradation - through wildlife and forest crime, crimes in the fisheries sector, minerals and waste crime.
Addressing these crimes requires a criminal justice response.

@INTERPOL_HQ works with member countries to detect & disrupt #IUUFishing across the full supply chain — from vessel operations at sea to catch moving through global markets.
Protecting our oceans means tackling the criminal networks behind them.

Today is the Int'l Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported & Unregulated #IUUFishing 🎣
IUU fishing doesn't stop at sea. It's linked to human trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering & document fraud. It threatens food security & the safety of vulnerable communities

Happy #WorldOceansDay
Crimes in the fisheries sector and other forms of marine crime threaten ecosystems, the blue economy and livelihoods.
Reimagining a new relationship with our ocean means stronger laws, investigations and cooperation to protect marine resources.

Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊
This year’s theme calls on us to act beyond borders and #Reimagine our relationship with the ocean. Stronger global cooperation is essential to combat wildlife crime and sustain our shared marine ecosystems.
In 2025, enforcement actions under Operation Thunder, supported by #ICCWC, uncovered a significant number of marine species trafficking cases, including shark fins, coral and abalone.

Crimes that affect the environment threaten biodiversity, economies and security, while funding organized crime.
From detection to conviction, UNODC strengthens the entire criminal justice chain to bring environmental criminals to justice.

Today on #WorldEnvironmentDay, the world unites around one urgent theme: Climate Action.
Wildlife crime accelerates climate change by destroying the ecosystems that store carbon, protect biodiversity and keep our planet resilient. ICCWC supports countries in building strong criminal justice responses to wildlife crime.
Combating wildlife crime is climate action.

Organized crime profits from wildlife trafficking, exploiting weak laws & enforcement.
UNODC provides evidence-based law enforcement training, supports intelligence-sharing & helps strengthen laws to combat illegal wildlife trade while safeguarding legal trade.

#WildlifeCrime isn’t just about protecting animals. It’s fueling the triple planetary crisis.
Illegal trade, poaching, and habitat destruction accelerate climate change, drive biodiversity loss, and worsen pollution. Tackling it is key to protecting ecosystems and our future.

Wildlife crime is far from declining. The World Wildlife Crime Report 2024 shows illegal trade affects 4,000 species across 160 countries. This drives extinctions, fuels organized crime and undermines climate & biodiversity goals.

Over the years, #ICCWC brought together the scientific and law enforcement communities, creating a shared understanding of how forensic science could strengthen investigations and prosecutions. These early steps were crucial in bridging the gap between field operations and laboratory science. Today, that early vision is being fully realized. 🧪

Wildlife traffickers launder billions of dollars every year through complex financial systems, disguising illegal proceeds as legitimate income 💰
#ICCWC supported the development of the @WorldBankGroup Environmental and Natural Resource Crimes Risk Assessment Guidance Manual, with 26 countries completing the module so far.
