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 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for the 21st Conference of Parties.

A briefing prepared for the 27th Meeting of Parties (MoP27) to the Montreal Protocol, held from November 1-5, 2015 in Dubai.
