Analysis
The most recent figure for contribution to global mean surface temperature rise in Pakistan is 0.0119 °C, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.9% on the previous year and up 35.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, contribution to global mean surface temperature rise in Pakistan peaked at 0.0119 °C in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 °C, in 1851.
That places Pakistan 26th out of 215 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
