This note summarises the analysis and assumptions underlying the emission reduction estimates, including the principles, scope and limitations of the analysis.
Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2014 is the quadrennial report of the Scientific Assessment Panel (SAP) of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
The analysis calculates an emissions gap relative to expected emission levels in 2030, in recognition of the growing focus that action beyond 2020 is gaining
in international climate change negotiations. Not least, the report provides an assessment of the carbon budget that is consistent with the 2° Celsius
temperature target.
In a significant move, India today did not oppose participation in a discussion on the issue of harmful greenhouse gas hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under the UN Montreal Protocol on ozone-depleting su
A growing body of evidence shows that economic growth is not in conflict with efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Experience at the state and national levels demonstrates that well-designed policies can reduce
Ingersoll-Rand, the Dublin-based manufacturing group, plans to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which can have a much more powerful global warming effect than carbon dioxide, by 2030.
The Obama administration is preparing to introduce major steps to phase out production of a popular chemical coolant used in refrigerators and air conditioners, citing growing evidence that the sub
