Frequently asked questions
How much has the Philippines warmed?
Averaged over the whole country, the last ten years (2016–2025) were 1.2 °C warmer than 1951–1980 according to Copernicus ERA5 — about as fast as the global average of 1.1 °C over the same period. Land areas warm faster than the oceans, so most countries warm faster than the global figure.
How much warmer will the Philippines be in 2050?
Climate models project the Philippines to be about 1.1 °C warmer in 2040–2059 than in 1995–2014 under an intermediate scenario (SSP2-4.5; model range 0.7–1.5 °C), and 1.5 °C under very high emissions (SSP5-8.5).
How much CO₂ does the Philippines emit?
The Philippines emitted 175 million tonnes of CO₂ from fossil fuels and industry in 2024, 0.5% of the global total, or 1.5 tonnes per person — 32% of the world average. Historically it has emitted 0.2% of all CO₂ since 1750.
