Abstract: Climate-related disasters have increased over recent decades, with severe human and economic consequences. While research has examined their macroeconomic effects and impact on households' income and consumption patterns, little attention has been given to their impact on tax morale—taxpayers' intrinsic motivation to comply with tax obligations. This study fills this gap by estimating the impact of climate-related disasters on tax morale in 26 sub-Saharan African countries using Afrobarometer survey data from 2011 to 2021.
