Analysis
The most recent figure for change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Zambia is 6.33, measured in 2021. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
That represents a change of down 0.5% on the previous year and down 76.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, change in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances in Zambia peaked at 184.97 in 1994 and was at its lowest, 6.33, in 2021.
That places Zambia 42nd 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).
