A briefing to the Consumer Goods Forum Global Summit 2014 in Paris. We stress the importance of CGF members publicly reaffirming their commitment to begin phasing out global-warming refrigerants and to announce the steps they intend to take towards this objective
A briefing to the 19th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting from 11-22 November 2013 in Warsaw, Poland, arguing that swift, effective and large reductions in greenhouse gases must start now
In a year that has seen concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide pass the 400ppm mark and the world’s scientific community issue its starkest warning yet that human activities will result in far-reaching disruption of the climate system, the need to swiftly rein in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is acute
China and India are expected to release vast amounts of hydroflourocarbon-23 (HFC-23) into the atmosphere, causing global greenhouse gas emissions to skyrocket. HFC-23, a by-product of HCFC-22 production, used in air-conditioning and refrigeration, is 14,800 times more damaging to the climate than carbon dioxide
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
