Turkmenistan: Adjusted savings, carbon dioxide damage (% of GNI)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2019, Turkmenistan's adjusted savings, carbon dioxide damage (% of GNI) fell 0.51 percentage points on 2018 (from 7.33% to 6.82%).

Across the 25 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2018), the average change was −0.18 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.53 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.71 percentage points in 1994 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.07 percentage points in 2001. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2010 to 2019 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

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 as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
