North Korea Savings Stats
Definitions
- Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage > Current US$: Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage (current US$). Carbon dioxide damage is estimated to be $20 per ton of carbon (the unit damage in 1995 U.S. dollars) times the number of tons of carbon emitted.
- Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage > Current US$ per capita: Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage (current US$). Carbon dioxide damage is estimated to be $20 per ton of carbon (the unit damage in 1995 U.S. dollars) times the number of tons of carbon emitted. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Adjusted savings: mineral depletion > Current US$: Adjusted savings: mineral depletion (current US$). Mineral depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of mineral resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers tin, gold, lead, zinc, iron, copper, nickel, silver, bauxite, and phosphate.
- Adjusted savings: mineral depletion > Current US$ per capita: Adjusted savings: mineral depletion (current US$). Mineral depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of mineral resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers tin, gold, lead, zinc, iron, copper, nickel, silver, bauxite, and phosphate. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Adjusted savings: net forest depletion > Current US$: Adjusted savings: net forest depletion (current US$). Net forest depletion is calculated as the product of unit resource rents and the excess of roundwood harvest over natural growth.
- Adjusted savings: net forest depletion > Current US$ per capita: Adjusted savings: net forest depletion (current US$). Net forest depletion is calculated as the product of unit resource rents and the excess of roundwood harvest over natural growth. Figures expressed per capita for the same year.
- Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage > % of GNI: Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage (% of GNI). Particulate emissions damage is calculated as the willingness to pay to avoid mortality attributable to particulate emissions.
