The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer - United States Department of State.
After recognizing that the unregulated release of these ozone-depleting substances could eventually destroy the ozone layer, the international community adopted the Montreal Protocol in 1987 to phase out chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were commonly used in refrigerators, fire extinguishers, foams and ...
The original Montreal Protocol agreement (1987) required developed country-Parties to begin phasing out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in 1993 and achieve a 50% reduction relative to 1986 consumption levels by 1998. Under this agreement, CFCs and halons were the only ODS addressed.
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 Montreal Protocol, finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
Under the original Montreal Protocol agreement (1987), developed countries were required to begin phasing out CFCs in 1993 and achieve a 20% reduction relative to 1986 consumption levels by 1994 and a 50% reduction by 1998.
The 1985 Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer do not directly address the issue of climate change. However, they do seek to phase out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, an important group of greenhouse gases.
The Montreal Protocol, finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
