In October 2016 the Kigali Amendment was adopted by all Parties to the Montreal Protocol. The Kigali Amendment brings the future production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under the control of the Protocol and will make a major contribution towards the fight against climate change. Control of HFC production and consumption will add to the climate benefits already achieved by the Montreal Protocol through the phase‑out of ozone depleting substances (ODS) including CFCs and HCFCs.
Gluckman Consulting assisted the OzonAction team of UN Environment produce a set of Fact Sheets that summarise key aspects of the Kigali Amendment. The Fact Sheets are aimed at policy makers and industry stakeholders and are intended to help support the successful implementation of a global phase-down of HFC production and consumption. The 14 Kigali Fact Sheets can be accessed and downloaded via the links below.
