The Montreal Protocol in 2012

A report to the 24th Meeting of Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, celebrating past achievements and looking ahead to future challenges.

As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Montreal Protocol and its history of unparalleled success, we owe it to ourselves to reflect not just on our achievements, but also on the challenges ahead, which we are currently failing to address.

If there was ever a time for the world’s most successful environmental treaty to evolve and expand its efforts, that time is now.
