OEWG briefing – Maximising the Montreal Protocol’s Potential for Urgent Global Climate Action
From 8 to 12 July 2024, the Parties to the Montreal Protocol will be attending the 46th Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG-46) in Montreal. EIA has produced a new briefing for the meeting, exploring the significant opportunities for the Parties to the Montreal Protocol to demonstrate strong leadership in living up to its reputation as the “most successful environmental treaty.”
The pace of climate change demands urgent action to cut GHG emissions in the near-term and for Parties to take progressive action to protect the Protocol’s legacy and ensure it can address present and future challenges. This briefing – “Maximising the Montreal Protocol’s Potential for Urgent Global Climate Action” – outlines EIA’s analysis and recommendations on the key agenda items to be discussed at OEWG46, including strengthening the institutions of the Montreal Protocol to address illegal trade and sustain compliance, addressing feedstock and other fluorochemical production-related greenhouse gas emissions and life-cycle refrigerant management.
