Analysis
Eritrea recorded 0.0001 °C for contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.4% on the previous year and up 27.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in Eritrea peaked at 0.0001 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
Eritrea ranks 162nd of 214 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
