Analysis
The most recent figure for change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Nigeria is 8.99, measured in 2021.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 6.3% on the previous year and down 61.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Nigeria peaked at 316.72 in 1997 and was at its lowest, 6.53, in 2007.
That places Nigeria 35th out of 162 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. This is measured as an index relative to emissions in the year 1986 (1986 = 100).
