How this figure is calculated
Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage (current US$) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage (current US$) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage Staff estimates, World Bank (WB)
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
