Since 1991, the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol has collaborated with partners worldwide to address one of humanity’s most pressing environmental challenges: the depletion of the ozone layer.
Working side-by-side with international agencies, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), UN Development Programme (UNDP), UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the World Bank, the Multilateral Fund has supported developing nations in phasing out the production and consumption of hazardous ozone-depleting substances (ODS) for more than three decades. In doing so, not only has the Fund helped protect the Earth’s ozone layer, but it has also made significant strides in climate change mitigation by eliminating a wide range of greenhouse gases responsible for a global rise in temperature.
A shining example of solidarity, the Multilateral Fund is a beacon of hope and a model of how international cooperation can successfully drive positive change.
