However, they do seek to phase out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, an important group of greenhouse gases.
The international treaty called The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol ) is gradually eliminating the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances to limit their damage to the earth's ozone layer.
The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol is an international agreement to gradually reduce the consumption and production of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It is a legally binding agreement designed to create rights and obligations in international law.
