A report to the 31st meeting of the Open-Ended Working Group of parties to the Montreal Protocol. We urge Parties to resolve and reach agreement on funding and other issues to ensure we implement the final phase-out of ozone-depleting substances without further phasing in harmful HFCs
A report examining three options to be considered by a Montreal Protocol meeting, each of which would produce greater emission reductions than those resulting from the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol or any near-term options being considered in the climate talks
A report highlighting the importance of controlling the impact of man-made fluorinated gases on the climate. We argue there is an enormous opportunity here – but also a risk that substitute technologies will focus on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which, could have an equally negative impact on climate change
This briefing reviews phase out scenarios under discussion, accompanying measures, and interactions with the Kyoto Protocol and the Clean Development Mechanism.
This report presents a feasibility study for developing systems for monitoring transboundary movements of controlled ozone-depleting substances (ODS) between the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. it includes a series of in-depth interviews with government officials and industry personnel
A report on the linkages between ozone layer depletion and climate change, and the urgent need to address HCFCs and HFCs These two issues have generally been treated as separate problems with separate solutions, resulting in outdated and uncoordinated policy responses
