A coalition of European campaigners has issued an urgent plea to their governments to support ambitious measures to reduce the emission of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – super greenhouse gases used in cooling equipment
Banning the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – super greenhouse gases used in refrigeration – in supermarkets would be one of the cheapest and most effective ways of reducing greenhouse gases in Europe, we told a conference, calling on EU states to push for ambitious measures in the review of the F-Gas Regulation
The 20 biggest world economies today agreed to use the resources of the Montreal Protocol to get rid of a significant group of super greenhouse gases. The EIA welcomes a landmark statement and encourages all countries to join the G20 in supporting a global phase-down of HFCs under the Montreal Protocol
Once again living up to its status as ‘world’s most effective environmental treaty’, the Montreal Protocol has struck a $385m deal with China to phase-out hydrochlorofluorocarbon production and so prevent eight billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions
A coalition of leading environmental organisations has called on the European Union’s climate Commissioner, Connie Hedegaard, to propose ambitious action to phase out climate-changing fluorinated gases, or F-gases
