Podcast – why tackling nitrous oxide emissions under the Montreal Protocol is essential
The United Nations has recently conceded that it is now “unavoidable” for the world to remain within the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
This means ambitious, rapid action is more essential than ever – and there are few better places to start than reducing our emissions of super pollutants such as nitrous oxide, methane and hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant gases, which collectively account for as much as 45 per cent of the current warming we’re experiencing.
