What the public record covers

On every question the documents say something, but never enough to confirm the answer. No published budget document that CAI could read line by line was found for this jurisdiction.

This shows what CAI found in public documents, not climate performance. A gap in the record is not a zero, and is not proof that nothing is happening.

Where the public record stops

  • The full-year record is publicly listed, but a usable source file was not retrieved from the public website searched.
  • A relevant public source was located or listed, but line-level executed energy-capital detail is not set out in the public sources reviewed.
  • The public record shows general fiscal/audit accountability visibility, but does not disclose a completed audit-control cycle specifically covering climate-relevant public expenditure with response and independent closure.

Recommendations

What CAI recommends publishing

These recommendations follow from where the public record stops. They are about what is published, not a judgement that Kogi failed to act.

  1. 01

    Publish the renewable energy spending record

    Release a downloadable record of money actually spent on renewable energy projects, showing the agency, the project and the amount.

  2. 02

    Publish the audit of climate spending

    Release which climate-related spending was audited, what the auditors found, how serious it was, and how government answered.

  3. 03

    Publish the climate plan and its status

    Release the climate plan or strategy with its formal status and date, who is responsible for delivering it, and any progress review.

  4. 04

    Publish the law behind climate action

    Release the signed law, gazette notice or executive order, showing its current status and the climate duties it places on government.

  5. 05

    Name the institution doing the work

    Release the responsible body's mandate, its named leadership, the resources it holds, and dated records of what it has done.
