Montreal Protocol - Kigali Amendment
The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is a global agreement to protect the Earth’s ozone layer by phasing out the chemicals that deplete it.
The 2016 Kigali Amendment:
- Added HFCs to the list of controlled substances;
- Set a timeline for their gradual reduction by 80-85% by the late 2040s. The first reductions by developed countries are expected in 2019, with developing countries to follow with a freeze of HFC consumption levels in 2024 and in 2028 for some nations.
