Next Tuesday, 11 February 2025, global anti-corruption movement Transparency International releases its annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). Once again the attention will be on South Africa’s score in relation to perceptions of tackling corruption in the country during 2024.
The CPI is one of the leading global indicators of public sector corruption, providing an annual comparative snapshot of 180 countries and territories. The index is compiled using data from 13 external sources, with results presented on a scale of zero to 100, where zero is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean.
The 2024 CPI assesses how countries have responded to corruption over the past year, reviewing progress and failures. This edition focuses on how corruption is undermining climate action around the world, showing how the countries most in need of climate finance are facing governance and corruption challenges. It points to corruption in the form of undue influence, for example from the fossil fuel industry and other powerful players, and how that is limiting the ambition of wealthy nations to tackle the climate crisis and protect the most vulnerable populations.

Date: 11 February 2025
