Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 0.0014 °C for global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
The figure is up 3.1% on the previous year and up 39.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, global warming contributions from fossil fuels and land use in Ethiopia peaked at 0.0014 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Ethiopia 70th 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.
