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 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
A report prepared for the 36th Open-Ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in Paris, France, from 20-24 July 2015. We urge the Parties to form a contact group at the 36th OEWG to begin negotiations on the text of an amendment to phase down the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
A report highlighting the importance of controlling the impact of man-made fluorinated gases on the climate. We argue there is an enormous opportunity here – but also a risk that substitute technologies will focus on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which, could have an equally negative impact on climate change
