  The practice of corruption is particularly critical in most countries in Africa and policies aiming to reduce and/or curb the practice have failed, yet the rising carbon dioxide emissions are increasing according to World Bank data 2013. The empirical evidence on the misalignment between bad governance-induced corruption trends and corresponding carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is surprisingly consistently negative, inconclusive and subject to error control. The study examines the issue of the relationship between corruption perception index and CO2 emissions (environmental impacts) using the rich augmented stirpat linked panel data for the period 1960-2012.
