The Montreal Protocol (MP) is the only climate change treaty that has been ratified by every country in the globe and is testament to the fact that nations can achieve complete unanimity in fighting climate change.

In a function held to celebrate 25 years of MP organised by the ministry of environment and forests, New York-based Dr Suely Carvalho, chief of the Montreal Protocol, pointed out that parties to the protocol have phased out 98 per cent of ozone-depleting chemicals.

The Montreal Protocol led to a global phase-out of most substances that deplete the ozone layer, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

The Montreal Protocol is perhaps the most successful international environmental treaty, responsible for global phaseout of the consumption and production of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), e.g., chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which do not destroy stratospheric ozone, were considered long-term substitutes for ODSs and are not controlled by the Montreal Protocol. Because most HFCs are potent greenhouse gases (GHGs), they are included in the Kyoto Protocol.
