The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer
•
4 likes•1,419 views
The Montreal Protocol aimed to eliminate substances that deplete the ozone layer in order to protect human health and the environment. It called for phasing out chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone depleting substances, which were commonly found in products like refrigerants and aerosols. The protocol was groundbreaking in that it took action to regulate these substances before there was concrete proof of ozone depletion. It has since been highly successful, with over 190 parties phasing out the vast majority of ozone depleting substances and finding alternatives. The protocol also encouraged developing nations through financial aid and grace periods to meet requirements.

Montreal Protocol and Ozone Layer Depletion
This presentation provides comprehensive information about Ozone, Ozone Layer, Ozone Layer Depletion, International Initiatives and Analysis of Montreal Protocol.
Montreal_protocol_Report
The document summarizes the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed in 1987 to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. Key details include that it has been ratified by 197 countries, requires staged reductions in CFC production and consumption through complete phase-outs by specific years, and has been hailed as one of the most successful international agreements due to evidence that it is repairing the ozone layer and providing significant climate benefits by avoiding greenhouse gas emissions.
The Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a 1997 global agreement that set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It aimed to reduce emissions in industrialized countries to 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012, with varying targets for different countries. While most industrialized countries met their targets, emissions in other high emitters like the US rose. The targets are now seen as too low, and greater reductions are needed to combat climate change. Individual actions and moving to renewable energy can help reduce emissions, but replacing coal with nuclear power will also be necessary to meet future targets.
Montreal protocol
The Montreal Protocol defines measures to limit production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances. Developed in 1987 under the UN Environment Programme, it came into force in 1989 as the first global agreement to protect the atmosphere. The protocol regulates substances like CFCs and halons that damage the ozone layer based on their ozone depletion potential. Developing countries faced special difficulties in phasing out substances and received financial and technical support, with a 10-year preparation period ending in 1999 before entering the compliance period.

Paris agreement
The document discusses India's plans to ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides background on the Paris Agreement, noting it aims to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius and was ratified by 61 countries. The summary explains that Prime Minister Modi announced India will ratify the agreement. As part of its commitments under the agreement, India will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33-35% by 2030, increase renewable energy production, and expand forest cover. Ratifying the agreement will significantly impact India's energy sector and industry.
Montreal protocol 1
The document summarizes how the Montreal Protocol affects companies that use HCFC refrigerants like R22 for HVAC systems. It outlines the phase-out timelines for developed and developing countries. For companies in developing countries, it describes alternatives like retrofitting existing systems or proper maintenance to avoid premature replacement. The company Clearafin offers training, retrofitting, and consultancy services to help companies comply with the Montreal Protocol in a cost-effective way.
Ozone & montreal protocol-shivani
The document discusses the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out ozone-depleting substances. It identifies chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl bromide, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons as the main substances controlled by the Montreal Protocol. While monitoring implementation across 197 member nations is difficult, the Montreal Protocol is largely considered a success - the abundance of ozone-depleting gases is decreasing, showing the treaty's effectiveness at protecting the ozone layer. Continued compliance will be needed to see further reductions in substances still increasing in the atmosphere.

The Kyoto Protocol
- The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that sets binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions for industrialized countries.
- The goal is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to help prevent dangerous climate change. Countries agreed on average reductions of 5.2% from 1990 levels by 2012.
- The United States signed but later withdrew from the agreement in 2001, citing negative economic impacts. Many other countries have ratified it but it faces challenges in comprehensively addressing long-term climate change.
Montreal protocol1
The document summarizes the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed in 1987 to protect the ozone layer by phasing out ozone depleting substances. It discusses how the protocol has been amended over time, identifying several ozone depleting compounds and setting timelines for their phase out. Key achievements of the protocol include worldwide participation, elimination of most ozone depleting substances, support for developing countries, and expectations that the ozone layer will fully recover by 2050 if compliance continues. The document also notes that without the Montreal Protocol, significant depletion of the ozone layer and increased health impacts from UV radiation would have occurred.
Kyoto protocol
Kyoto protocol PPT presentation includes several things.
What? Commitment periods, timeline, Paris agreement, etc
Kyoto Protocol (application, success, failure)
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Protocol set binding emission reduction targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community but did not include binding targets for developing countries like China and India. While some parties achieved their targets, overall global emissions continued to rise significantly during the Protocol's first commitment period from 2008-2012. The Protocol has faced criticisms around its flexibility mechanisms, lack of participation from major emitters, and difficulty enforcing compliance. In 2012, an amendment extended the Protocol with a second commitment period through 2020 but with fewer participating parties.
Montreal protocol 1987
The Montreal Protocol of 1987 is a global agreement to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals and protect the ozone layer. It established a plan to reduce production and consumption of these substances. The parties meet annually to ensure successful implementation, having amended the agreement six times, most recently in 2016 to phase down hydrofluorocarbons. Through collaborative international efforts, the Montreal Protocol has successfully met its goals of repairing the ozone layer.
Climate Change UNFCCC
This document discusses climate change impacts in India and the country's policy responses. It notes increasing surface temperatures and variable regional impacts on rainfall and drought. It outlines India's National Action Plan on Climate Change and its national missions to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable habitats, water management, ecosystem protection, agriculture and strategic climate research. The document discusses how rural livelihoods dependent on natural resources are highly vulnerable to climate impacts. It defines concepts of vulnerability, adaptation and the UNFCCC and its role in coordinating the global response to climate change.
21. Climate Change: The Paris Climate Agreement
The document discusses the history and key elements of the Paris Climate Agreement. It outlines that the UNFCCC was formed in 1992 to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions and avoid dangerous climate change. Major milestones include the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and 2015 Paris Agreement, where countries agreed to limit warming to 1.5-2°C. The Paris Agreement established long-term temperature goals, national emissions reduction plans, frameworks for finance/support, and transparency measures, but current country pledges are still insufficient to meet its targets. In 2019, the US withdrew from the agreement.

Introduction to the Paris Agreement
A presentation by IIED principal researcher Dr Achala Abeysinghe giving an introduction to the Paris Agreement on climate change.
The presentation was made at the ecbi Training And Support Programme’s Asian regional training workshop for junior climate negotiators from developing countries, in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 14-15 April 2016.

The Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is a global agreement that set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It required industrialized countries to cut emissions by 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012, with the European Union cutting by 8% and Japan by 5%. While many countries signed on, some like the US withdrew. The targets have been criticized by scientists as too low. The UK has taken steps to meet its targets like shifting from coal to gas power, increasing renewables, and taxing petrol, but will need more nuclear power to fully transition. Individual actions and new technologies can help reduce carbon footprints, but a major economic shift is needed to transition away from fossil fuels.
Paris agreement
The document outlines the members of a group project on the Paris Climate Agreement led by Dr. Abhishek Chaudhary. It then provides information on the Paris Agreement, including that it is the first comprehensive global framework within the UN to tackle climate change. It notes key impacts of climate change and global greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, it lists some criticisms of the agreement, such as countries not being held responsible for unmet goals and a lack of enforcement mechanisms.
Paris agreement
The document discusses India's ratification of the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides background on the Paris Agreement, its aims to limit global warming below 2 degrees Celsius through greenhouse gas emissions reductions and climate change adaptation efforts. India had not previously ratified the agreement as it sought flexibility for economic growth. However, Prime Minister Modi recently announced India will now ratify it, becoming the 62nd country to do so. Ratifying will require India to reduce emissions intensity, increase renewable energy production, and expand forest cover. The impacts of climate change are also discussed, noting risks to India's large agriculture sector and coastal populations from effects like drought, flooding and sea level rise.
Kyoto protocol and Copenhagen Summit
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It set targets for industrialized countries to cut emissions by 5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012. Each country agreed to its own target, such as an 8% cut for EU countries. The protocol went into legal effect in 2005 after Russia ratified it. However, countries are not on track to meet targets and the US withdrawal was a major setback. The Copenhagen Summit in 2009 aimed to forge a new agreement to replace Kyoto but only produced the non-binding Copenhagen Accord, continuing pressure for countries like the US to pass emissions legislation.
About the Montreal Protocol
The Montreal Protocol aimed to phase out ozone depleting substances to protect the ozone layer. It was agreed in 1987 and entered into force in 1989. It has undergone several revisions to strengthen commitments. Key ozone depleting substances like CFCs and HCFCs are being phased out according to set timelines. As a result of compliance, the ozone layer is projected to recover by 2050-2070, demonstrating the Protocol's effectiveness through international cooperation.
The Kyoto Protocol
The document discusses Canada's obligations and challenges in meeting the targets of the Kyoto Protocol. It notes that Canada ratified the protocol in 2002 but has failed to meet its emissions reduction targets. Emissions have risen significantly since 1990 due largely to growth in the oil, gas and mining industries. While some provinces have their own climate policies, Canada's withdrawal from its Kyoto commitments has faced criticism from environmental and political groups.
Paris accords
The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in 2020. 194 countries have signed it, with 127 ratifying it, and it went into effect in November 2016. The agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C by reducing emissions through nationally determined contributions that are reported every 5 years. However, the contributions are not legally binding and there is no enforcement if countries do not meet their targets.
montreal protocol what was it ?
The document summarizes a seminar report on ozone layer depletion and the Montreal Protocol. It discusses how the ozone layer was discovered and its importance in shielding Earth from UV rays. It then explains how CFCs and other ozone depleting substances released from industrial activities were depleting the ozone layer, leading to the formation of an ozone hole over Antarctica. The Montreal Protocol of 1989 was a major international agreement to phase out the production of CFCs and other ozone depleting substances to allow the ozone layer to recover.
1987 montreal protocol on substances that deplete the
The 1987 Montreal Protocol addressed growing concern over depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer by man-made compounds. It established a framework for phasing out the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons and halons. The protocol was amended in 1990, 1992, and 1997 to accelerate schedules and include more substances. It has been highly effective, with the ozone layer expected to recover by the 2060s due to compliance with the Montreal Protocol.

The document summarizes the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and Montreal Protocol. The UNFCCC is a 1992 treaty aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous climate change. It lacks enforcement but established a framework for negotiating protocols like Kyoto. Kyoto set binding emissions reduction targets for developed nations from 2008-2012. The Montreal Protocol is a 1987 agreement to phase out ozone-depleting substances to protect the stratospheric ozone layer and reduce global warming.
The depleting of the ozone layer
The document summarizes the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed in 1987 to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances responsible for ozone depletion. Specifically, it outlines key terms like the ozone layer and controlled gases like CFCs. It also describes the Protocol's goals of phasing out ozone-depleting substances on set timelines, establishing a multilateral fund to assist developing countries, and its status as the most widely ratified UN treaty. Overall, the Montreal Protocol aims to regulate emissions to prevent increased UV radiation and its impacts on humans and ecosystems from further destruction of the ozone layer.

Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It commits developed countries to reduce their emissions to 10% below 1990 levels between 2008-2012. Key mechanisms to help countries meet their targets include international emissions trading, the Clean Development Mechanism between developed and developing countries, and Joint Implementation between developed countries. While many countries have ratified the protocol, major emitters like the US have not. Developing countries like China and India are not required to reduce emissions under the agreement.
7. Responses To Climate Change
There must be coordinated global, national, and local responses to address climate change. Globally, countries aim to reduce carbon emissions through agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and carbon trading. Nationally, governments implement initiatives to encourage public transport, renewable energy, and energy conservation. Individually, people can conserve energy at home, choose more sustainable transportation, and adopt low-carbon lifestyles.
Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It commits industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming. Key points of the Kyoto Protocol include binding emissions reduction targets for 37 industrialized nations, flexible mechanisms to lower compliance costs, and excluding developing countries from emissions limits. While most industrialized nations support it, the United States has withdrawn support. Malaysia has no emissions targets but supports efforts under the UNFCCC framework.
Ozone Depletion
The document discusses the ozone layer, its importance in blocking harmful UV radiation, and how it has been damaged by CFC emissions. It also describes the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement that regulated CFC production and helped slow ozone depletion. The ozone layer is found in the stratosphere and protects life on Earth by absorbing 95% of UVB and all UVC radiation. CFCs released the chlorine radicals that catalyzed ozone destruction in a cyclic reaction. The Montreal Protocol phased out CFC production and has slowed but not yet reversed ozone layer depletion.
4 responses to climate change
The document outlines responses to climate change from individual to global levels. It discusses lifestyle changes people can make, global meetings like the Kyoto Protocol to establish emissions trading, and national strategies to reduce emissions. The document also notes that some countries are more willing to act on climate change than others. Students are tasked with creating a triangle diagram showing the scale of responses from global governmental organizations and companies down to local councils, schools, and individual people.
Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to fight global warming.

Epa (ccac november 2012)
This document discusses strategies for controlling emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), including domestic, regional, and international approaches. It notes that HFC usage and emissions have grown substantially to replace ozone-depleting substances banned under the Montreal Protocol. The U.S. has regulations and partnerships to reduce HFC emissions from various sectors. Internationally, amending the Montreal Protocol to phase down HFC production and use could significantly reduce climate change impacts by over 96 billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2050. Momentum is growing for such an amendment with over 100 countries supporting addressing HFCs under the Montreal Protocol.
Stockholm convention on persistent organic pollutants
The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which are toxic chemicals that remain intact in the environment for long periods, become widely distributed geographically, accumulate in the fatty tissue of humans and wildlife, and have harmful impacts on human health or the environment. The Convention addresses intentional and unintentional production of POPs and provides a process for adding new POPs. Key provisions include requirements for parties to eliminate production and use of intentionally produced POPs, develop plans to reduce unintentional releases, and review and terminate specific exemptions allowed for some uses. The Convention has been amended to list additional chemicals as POPs.
carbon credits
Carbon credits are certificates awarded for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are measured in units of carbon dioxide reduction and can be traded on exchanges. The Kyoto Protocol established a carbon trading system where countries must meet emission reduction targets or purchase credits from countries that have excess. The goal is to lower overall emissions of six greenhouse gases. While developed countries have mandatory targets, developing countries do not due to their historically low emissions per capita.
3ES3 slidecast
This document summarizes a presentation on the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants. It defines persistent organic pollutants as toxic chemicals that do not degrade naturally and accumulate in ecosystems. The convention banned or restricted the production and use of 12 dangerous persistent organic pollutants in order to protect human and environmental health globally. Signatories agreed to monitor persistent organic pollutant levels and amend the treaty as needed to maintain its effectiveness over time. The goal was to preserve human life and wildlife by removing these harmful chemicals from the environment.
C2C Fellow Conversations on Doha
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was created in 1992 to cooperatively consider what can be done to reduce global warming and cope with whatever temperature increases are inevitable. It has held annual Conferences of the Parties since 1995 where member countries discuss emissions targets and negotiate agreements. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997 to establish legally binding emissions reduction targets for developed countries. Subsequent COPs have extended and refined the Kyoto Protocol while working to involve more countries in a successor agreement to address climate change through 2020 and beyond.
Presentation on Climate Change and Politics

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer
- 1. The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer By: Catherine Berger
- 2. What is it? • Protocol to protect human health and environment from products that modify the ozone layer • Ultimate objective: eliminate these controlled substances through developments in scientific knowledge • Widely applauded international agreement, innovative and successful
- 3. Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) • Chlorofluorocarbons, halons and other ODSs float to stratosphere • Chlorine released > reactions caused by ultraviolet radiation > converts ozone to molecular oxygen • Common products
- 4. Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer • Criticized for lack of actual progress made • Called for research and shared information • Did not mention CFCs
- 5. Developing Countries • Protocol encourages aid to developing countries from developed nations • Global Environment Facility
- 6. Developing Countries • Economic situation recognized and accommodated • Ten-year grace period • Delayed amount of time for meeting Protocol Requirements
- 7. Adaptability • Nature of change in environmental issues • Economic, social, environmental and scientific discoveries and changes • 2/3 of present Parties majority • Implementation in 6 months
- 8. Exclusivity • Non-Party nations did not abide by same regulations • Bans on trading with non-Parties to the Protocol • Encourage non-Party countries to join
- 9. Economy vs Environment • CFCs must be removed • Gradual system • Developed countries • Transfer of production calculations
- 10. Precaution • Montreal Protocol unprecedented in the actions taken before concrete proof of the issues • 6 months after signing, confirmation • Further steps
- 11. Technological Gains • Unexpected speed and improvement of technology • To replace controlled substances that damage environment
- 12. Possible Improvements • Disposal of products containing CFCs is costly • Developing countries have difficulty disposing of them properly
- 13. Major Players Impacts • Controversial to eliminate CFCs • Construction, pharmaceuticals, computers etc • US cooperation with Soviet Union and Japan led to a strong treaty
- 14. Replacements • Substitute fluorocarbons contributing to climate forcing • Lesser of two evils?
- 15. Progression • CFCs targeted in Montreal Protocol were initially CFC-11 and CFC-12 • 80% of ODSs that were phased out were not replaced by fluorocarbons, but alternative chemicals
- 16. Substances Addressed • Initial debate about including halons • Growth of included products over time, from 8 to over 80
- 17. Calculating Emissions • Production, plus imports, minus exports • CFCs allotted a number rating according to their detrimental factor for calculation purposes
- 18. Parties • Initially there were 24 Parties to the Montreal Protocol • Reached over 190 • More amendments and decline of nations ratifying the Protocol
- 19. Conclusions • Innovative and successful environmental Protocol • Now that the fear has resided less importance • Continue awareness
