“Any ratification of the Kigali amendment brings us closer to repeating the success of the Montreal Protocol in the fight against ozone-depleting substances,” said Tina Birmpili, Executive Secretary of the Ozone Secretariat. “This success is based on the cooperation of nations. I look forward to more than 100 ratifications and look forward to many more in the months and years ahead. In other words, large HFC emitters such as China and India can increase the use of CFCs for an additional 5 to 9 years and then expire within 23 years. According to the EU`s “Earth Negotiations Journal”, a five-year delay means doubling the annual impact of HFC on climate by 2030 – currently, HFC emissions are increasing by about 10% per year. Note that since the 1980s, many CFCs have been known to be extremely potent greenhouse gases (see this 1990 “study”). For the three groups of countries classified according to their economic status, the annual limit for industrialized countries is incorrectly mentioned as 2016. It was supposed to be 2036. Please look at this and change the changes.
If not, ignore the comment. The paragraph below is the detailed point However, if these gases to save the ozone layer, they are powerful greenhouse gases. Their lifespan in the atmosphere is quite short, but they filter the infrared very strongly: for example, the HFC-23 has a global warming potential (PRG) at 100 years 12400. [5] It therefore appears that the elimination of emissions of these gases could significantly limit and limit global warming in the short term. Under the amendment, all countries will gradually reduce HFCs by more than 80% over the next 30 years and replace them with more environmentally friendly alternatives. A certain group of industrialized countries will begin to gradually become debt-ridted in 2019. Several developing countries will freeze consumption of CFCs in 2024, followed by other countries in 2028. The schedule for progressive planning is detailed here. The amendment also contains agreements on CFC destruction technologies, data reporting requirements and capacity-building provisions for developing countries. [UNEP press release] The need for the amendment stems from the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which controls ozone-depleting substances.
