#Montreal Protocol

The issues of ozone depletion and climate change have been at the forefront of the international community’s environmental agenda for several years. It is now generally accepted that man-made chemicals and human activities are having a significant adverse impact on the global climate. The focus of this guide is to assist Article 5 countries with the phase-out of HCFCs. This is a complex issue with interlinking environmental, economic, technical and social aspects. It is therefore impossible to consider the topic of HCFC phase-out in isolation; an overarching approach is required.
