What the numbers say
In 2021, Angola's adjusted savings, carbon dioxide damage (current US$) rose 6.9% on 2020 (from US$995 million to US$1.06 billion).

What this measures
Cost of damage due to carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel use and the manufacture of cement, estimated to be US$40 per ton of CO2 (the unit damage in 2017 US dollars for CO2 emitted in 2020) times the number of tons of CO2 emitted. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
