Source: UN Environment Programme (2023) – processed by Our World in Data. Measured in ODP tonnes.
Analysis
In 2021, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Cameroon stood at 29.5 ODP tonnes. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of down 9.3% on the previous year and down 55.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Cameroon peaked at 408.9 ODP tonnes in 2000 and was at its lowest, 29.5 ODP tonnes, in 2021.
That places Cameroon 31st out of 168 countries with data for 2021, putting it in the top quarter.
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.
