Abstract: This study examines the impact of climate finance on Nigeria’s economic performance from 2010 to 2025, with particular attention to institutional quality and policy effectiveness as moderating factors. Using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression modeling, the study analyzes both domestic and international climate finance inflows and their effects on GDP growth. The findings indicate that climate finance significantly contributes to economic growth, and its effectiveness is amplified by strong institutions and well-implemented policies. Sectoral analysis reveals that energy, agriculture, and infrastructure derive the greatest benefit from targeted climate finance. The study provides policy-relevant insights for optimizing climate finance deployment and enhancing sustainable economic development in Nigeria.
