摘要：This study explores the impact of climate change on citizen compliance and citizen-state conflicts in Africa. By analyzing geocoded public opinion surveys from 38 African countries spanning from 2011 to 2018, alongside fine-scale remote sensing data, we investigate the effects of weather extremes on citizens' resistance to fulfilling tax and fee obligations. Our findings indicate that weather extremes increase the likelihood of noncompliance behavior, particularly affecting vulnerable communities, such as those in rural areas, facing precarious job situations, and possessing lower levels of education. We identify two mechanisms through which climate change influences citizen compliance: firstly, by fostering a pessimistic economic prospect among citizens, leading them to anticipate future financial strains, and secondly, by exacerbating dissatisfaction with public officials' performance, leading them to withdraw financial support to the government. Furthermore, we observe significant mitigating effects of climate adaptation measures, such as piped water, in-house water sources, dams, and renewable energy transition. The paper also provides back-of-the-envelope estimations of the potential revenue losses that African countries may face due to climate-induced noncompliance, highlighting the economic consequences of climate change in developing countries.
