Montreal Protocal

The Montreal protocol was adopted in 1987 as a binding global agreement to phase out ozone depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. It obligates countries to eliminate production of major ozone depleting substances and has targeted 96 chemicals across many industrial sectors. The protocol was expanded in 2016 to include progressive phase down obligations for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which are less damaging transitional chemicals.

Montreal Protocal

The Montreal protocol was adopted in 1987 and is a binding global agreement to
protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and
consumption of ozone-depleting substances. It sets a binding obligation for
countries to phase out production of all major ozone depleting substances. The
ozone layer protects the Earth against most UVB coming from the sun.

The pollutants that are specifically damaging the ozone layer is


chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons and less damaging transitional chemicals
such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). The Montreal Protocol targets 96
ozone depleting chemicals in thousands of applications across more than 240
industrial sectors. In 2016 the Montreal Protocol also became responsible for
setting binding progressive phase down obligations for the 18 main
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
