This meeting is organised by OzonAction Compliance Assistance Programme of Asia and the Pacific Office, UNEP. It is part of the Regional Network service that OzonAction's Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP) provides to Article 5 (developing) countries as part its role as an Implementing Agency of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol.
The following side events organised in collobration with UN Environment OzonAction will be held in the margins of the 30th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol:
The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer will help protect the climate by phasing down high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are commonly used as refrigerants. Promoting energy efficiency of air conditioning and refrigeration technology can significantly increase those climate co-benefits.
