Niger - Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage (% of GNI)

Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage (% of GNI) in Niger was 0.900 as of 2019. Its highest value over the past 49 years was 0.900 in 2019, while its lowest value was 0.088 in 1970.

Definition: Cost of damage due to carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use and the manufacture of cement, estimated to be US$30 per ton of CO2 (the unit damage in 2014 US dollars for CO2 emitted in 2015) times the number of tons of CO2 emitted.

Statistical Concept and Methodology: Pollution damage from emissions of carbon dioxide is calculated as the marginal social cost per unit multiplied by the increase in the stock of carbon dioxide. The unit damage figure represents the present value of global damage to economic assets and to human welfare over the time the unit of pollution remains in the atmosphere.
