We make the case that The Montreal Protocol, via agreement of a robust Kigali Amendment, has a golden opportunity and an obligation to contribute to global climate change commitments with concrete action to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and replace them with energy-efficient, climate-friendly alternatives
An EIA briefing for the Montreal Protocol meetings in Vienna from July 15-23, 2016. Following the adoption of the Dubai Pathway on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Parties to the Montreal Protocol are set to negotiate and adopt an HFC amendment, the first major test of the Paris Climate Agreement
A briefing produced for the 60th Global Summit of the Consumer Goods Forum, from 15-17 June 2016 in South Africa. Since 2010 there has been a dramatic shift in the availability and effectiveness of hydrofluorocarbon-free technologies, allowing progressive companies to significantly reduce their carbon footprint
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 prepared for the 27th Meeting of Parties (MoP27) to the Montreal Protocol, held from November 1-5, 2015 in Dubai. We make the case that a global agreement under the Montreal Protocol to address HFCs could prevent the consumption of more than 100 billion tonnes of CO2e hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 2050
An online resource intended to serve as a guide for companies and consumers affected by the EU F-Gas Regulation, detailing where the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phase-down came from and what it means for the new European marketplace
