Analysis
Samoa recorded 0.23 for change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in 2021. That is the lowest value across all 33 years on record.
The figure is down 74.7% on the previous year and down 96.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Samoa peaked at 145.45 in 1999 and was at its lowest, 0.23, in 2018.
That places Samoa 120th out of 162 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. This is measured as an index relative to emissions in the year 1986 (1986 = 100).
