Given all of these factors and more, the Montreal Protocol is considered to be one of the most successful environmental agreements of all time.
By banning new production and use of CFCs, the Montreal Protocol eliminated a significant contributor to climate change, avoiding a potential additional global temperature increase of 0.5 to 1 degree Fahrenheit by 2100.
Invests in Climate Resilience– The budget touts $23 billion in climate adaptation and resilience across multiple agencies including $5.6 billion for the Department of Agriculture, $5.5 billion for the Department of the Interior, $4.4 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, $3.5 billion for the Department of ...
The Paris Agreement works on a five-year cycle of increasingly ambitious climate action -- or, ratcheting up -- carried out by countries. Since 2020, countries have been submitting their national climate action plans, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
Broadly, costs of inaction fall into two categories: Economic costs: Direct losses to GDP due to climate-related risks and impacts, and. Social costs: Indirect costs incurred due to negative climate-related impacts on people and/or their environments.
“The Montreal Protocol is one of the most important and successful global environmental treaties ever,” said David Fahey, director of NOAA's Chemical Sciences Laboratory and Co-chair of the Scientific Assessment Panel of the Montreal Protocol.
The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations together to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.

For 2035, we estimate global investment requirements for climate action to be around $7–8.1 trillion per year, with advanced economies needing $2.6–3.1 trillion, China $1.3–1.5 trillion, and EMDCs other than China requiring $3.1–3.5 trillion.
