Analysis
Taiwan recorded 0.3% for global warming: contributions to the change in global mean surface temperature in 2024. That is the highest value across all 174 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.9% on the previous year and up 15.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, global warming: contributions to the change in global mean surface temperature in Taiwan peaked at 0.3% in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0%, in 1894.
That places Taiwan 49th 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.
