Commitment Title
Anti-corruption and environment co-creation roundtable, an open government mechanism for the attention, resolution and accountability of environmental alerts due to corruption.
Problem
The development of the tourism model in Quintana Roo has generated a disproportionate accelerated growth, with an improvised planning between the north and south of the state, which responds to immediate needs rather than a vision for the future, where the problems of citizens are not a priority. Likewise, the depth of social inequality, corruption and environmental impact are the great challenges that we seek to influence in order to transform our immediate reality and that of the following decades, through a planning instrument that will allow us to co-create a sustainable course for our state for the next 25 years.
Status quo
Since 2020, CxT has promoted the agenda through two programs on anti-corruption and the environment with the Anti-Corruption System of the State of Quintana Roo and in alliance with Transparencia Mexicana, CEMDA Quintana Roo, Amigos de Sian Kaan, Centinelas del Agua, Bios Política, Cozumel activists and environmental lawyers, six environmental alerts for corruption were triggered. In February 2023, a declaration was signed between civil society, SECOES, and SEMA, for the installation of an open government committee for Anti-Corruption and the Environment, to address the six environmental alerts due to corruption.
Action
Activation of a co-creation table on anti-corruption and the environment, a mechanism for open government and citizen participation in which government actors and civil society participate; they dialogue, generate agreements, execute actions, and render accounts on anti-corruption and environmental issues: Environmental and territorial ordering; Citizen Participation and environmental impact projects; Environmental procedures; Water and Sanitation, Environmental Justice and Environmental Budget Transparency.
How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?
The Anti-Corruption and Environment Co-Creation Table is an open government mechanism that opens dialogue and action for the sustainable development of the state. Provides follow-up to environmental alerts for corruption in Quintana Roo, which arise from the citizen agenda and recognizes corruption as an accelerator of the climate and biodiversity crisis. This table celebrates environmental governance, framed in the Escazú Agreement and its principles: Transparency, Citizen Participation, and Environmental Justice. Articulating key actors from the cabinet of the executive power, the legislative power, the judiciary, and the Coordinating Committee of the Anti-Corruption System of the State of Quintana Roo (SAEQROO).

What OGP value is this commitment relevant to?
| Civic Participation | Based on the principle of citizen participation, addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis is one of the priorities at the global level, which must be addressed through local actions; the co-creation roundtable on anti-corruption and the environment brings together key decision makers to discuss immediate responses for prevention, mitigation, sanctioning and repairing damage for the protection of ecosystems and life. |
| Public Accountability | One of the important elements of the anti-corruption and environment roundtable is constant accountability and within 100 days for the analysis of progress, informed decision-making, as well as to accelerate required actions. |
