2024 Round-Up

Happy New Year! We’re grateful to our subscribers and readers for supporting our ongoing efforts toward greater accountability and community-centered development.

Since launching the Console Newsletter in 2021, we’ve explored a wide range of pressing issues. This month, we’re excited to share the top five most-read articles of 2024! These articles cover a variety of topics including development banks’ involvement in conflict zones, the accountability challenges of energy transition minerals, and the path of complaints through IAMs.

In 2025, the Research Team at Accountability Counsel will continue advancing a few research projects you may have heard us speak about - including research into complaint outcomes and an update to our guide on how to use IAMs. We’re also looking forward to bringing you more thought-provoking articles through the Console Newsletter. If you have a topic you’d like us to cover, feel free to email us at research@accountabilitycounsel.org — we’d love to hear your ideas!

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to sharing more insights with you in 2025!
