Contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in Panama, 1851–2024
Source: Jones et al. (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data. Measured in °C.
Analysis
Panama recorded 0.0002 °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 3.4% on the previous year and up 38.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise from fossil sources in Panama peaked at 0.0002 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Panama 131st out of 214 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
