Permission is not the same as uptake.
The 10-country baseline means countries authorising some form of SUMD reprocessing in Commission notifications through January 2025. It does not mean hospital participation or measured savings. The 30-country comparison covers the European study area, including EU and other EEA countries; national pathways and restrictions differ.

Why the allocation matters
2.8% · US$630 million
ActionAid’s 2025 analysis found that 2.8%—US$630 million—of the GCF/CIF mitigation finance it reviewed supported a just transition. This total covers more than ten years, not one year, and is included only for context.
Methodology, formulas and limitations
Device-volume mode: effective countries = 10 + (selected countries − 10) × activity factor. Uses = effective countries × uses per country. Net benefit = gross discount saving − additional programme cost. Allocation applies only to positive net benefit.
Aggregate mode: user-entered 10-country annual net savings scale by effective countries ÷ 10. A source entry is not independently verified by the platform.
IHLEG’s cited 2024 report assigns approximately US$2.4 trillion to emerging and developing economies excluding China; its US$2.7–2.8 trillion figure refers to advanced economies.
