Analysis
Bhutan recorded 30 for change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in 2021.
That represents a change of down 25.0% on the previous year and down 89.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Bhutan peaked at 1,000 in 1997 and was at its lowest, 0, in 1989.
That places Bhutan 12th out of 162 countries with data for 2021, putting it in the top 10%.
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. This is measured as an index relative to emissions in the year 1986 (1986 = 100).
