Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 0.0014 °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.
That represents a change of up 3.1% on the previous year and up 39.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in Ethiopia peaked at 0.0014 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
Ethiopia ranks 70th of 214 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
