A briefing highlighting an opportunity to maximise the climate benefits of the hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) phase-out

Suggested revisions to the EU F-Gas Regulation. We argue that proposals contain the basic elements required to tackle hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions but lacks ambition and advances an incomplete regulatory framework

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) represent about one per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, it is expected to soar in coming decades. This report argues that the time for action on HFCs has arrived; failure to do so will result in an additional year of inertia and circular debates

As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Montreal Protocol and its history of unparalleled success, we owe it to ourselves to reflect not just on our achievements, but also on the challenges ahead, which we are currently failing to address

A briefing to the Bangkok climate change conference, August/September 2012. Two separate proposals to amend the Montreal Protocol to regulate production and use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have been tabled every year since 2009 by Micronesia, and by Canada, Mexico and the United States

The latest of our annual reports focusing on the use of climate-damaging refrigerants in major supermarket chains and progress to move away from harmful HFCs to climate-friendly alternatives. Chilling Facts IV finds 344 stores have now made the transition, with thousands of engineers trained to service them
