Source: UN Environment Programme (2023) – processed by Our World in Data. Measured in ODP tonnes.
Analysis
In 2021, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Botswana stood at 1.21 ODP tonnes.
That represents a change of down 77.7% on the previous year and down 88.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Botswana peaked at 36.8 ODP tonnes in 1993 and was at its lowest, 0 ODP tonnes, in 1991.
That places Botswana 92nd out of 168 countries with data for 2021, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Consumption of various controlled substances. These include Bromochloromethane (BCM), Carbon Tetrachloride (CTC), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs), Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Methyl Bromide (MB), Methyl Chloroform (TCA) and Other Fully Halogenated CFCs. We assign zero to missing values for a given (year, country, chemical) triple. This is due to technical reasons, so that we are able to plot this variable using our Grapher stacked are charts.
