Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | 5–6 November 2026
H.E. Mr. Monthien Charoenpol, Auditor General of the State Audit Office of the Kingdom of Thailand and Chair of the INTOSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing (INTOSAI WGEA), is participating in the ClimateScanner Summit 2026: From Data to Action, held on 5–6 November 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Summit is hosted by the Federal Court of Accounts of Brazil (Tribunal de Contas da União: TCU), bringing together representatives of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs), international organizations, and global partners committed to strengthening climate governance and accountability.
As Chair of INTOSAI WGEA, Mr. Charoenpol was invited to deliver remarks during the opening session on 5 November and is scheduled to address the closing session on 6 November. His participation reflects the active leadership of INTOSAI WGEA and the State Audit Office of the Kingdom of Thailand in promoting international cooperation, transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of public policies and measures addressing climate change.
ClimateScanner is a significant initiative within the INTOSAI community, developed under the leadership of TCU Brazil. It provides SAIs with a comprehensive assessment framework covering three key dimensions of government climate action: Climate Governance, Public Policies, and Climate Finance. Through this framework, SAIs can identify challenges, exchange experiences, and strengthen verifiable accountability for national climate commitments and government performance.
The ClimateScanner Summit 2026 marks an important milestone in celebrating the successful completion of the initiative’s first phase and its evolution from an ambitious vision into a global initiative connecting SAIs worldwide. Under the theme “From Data to Action,” the Summit emphasizes the importance of translating climate assessments, evidence, and insights into meaningful actions that improve public sector performance, address climate-related risks, and deliver tangible benefits to citizens.
In his capacity as Chair of INTOSAI WGEA, Mr. Charoenpol has reaffirmed his commitment to continuing and further developing ClimateScanner as a world-class initiative for the INTOSAI community. ClimateScanner has been incorporated into the INTOSAI WGEA Work Plan 2026–2028, representing an important step towards ensuring its continuity, institutional sustainability, and practical application in public
