A report to the 37th Meeting of the Open-Ended Working Group of Parties to the Montreal Protocol, from 4-8 April 2016, in Geneva, Switzerland. Phasing down and eventually phasing out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is the most cost-effective, short-term and fast-action strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
A briefing to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for the 21st Conference of Parties.

A briefing prepared for the 27th Meeting of Parties (MoP27) to the Montreal Protocol, held from November 1-5, 2015 in Dubai.

We urge the Parties to form a contact group at the 36th OEWG to begin negotiations on the text of an amendment to phase down the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
The international community heads towards a landmark climate change agreement in Paris, also it's the year Parties to the Montreal Protocol launch formal negotiations on one of the largest, fastest and most cost-effective global mitigation measures to address climate change - the phase-out of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
A briefing prepared for the 26th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Paris November 2014. Parties to the Montreal Protocol stand poised to begin negotiations on the most immediate, cost-effective and tangible global measure to address climate change ever contemplated, the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons
