This chapter examines how corruption affects climate change-induced vulnerability and income inequality in Africa. Corruption diverts resources away from crucial environmental and resilience projects, undermining climate adaptation efforts, increasing communities’ susceptibility to climate disasters, and exacerbating income inequality by benefiting the elite while marginalizing the poor, who are most vulnerable to climate impacts. Using a dynamic panel data framework, the chapter captures the nonlinear interactions of corruption on climate vulnerability and income disparity. The results indicate that corruption significantly heightens climate vulnerability and income inequality, emphasizing the necessity for robust governance and anti-corruption measures. This chapter provides empirical evidence on the adverse role of corruption in climate change adaptation and social equity, highlighting the importance of transparent institutions for sustainable development in Africa.
