Civil society organisations have called on countries to increase funding, strengthen enforcement and accelerate efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions from hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), warning that emerging environmental threats could undermine gains made under the Montreal Protocol.
The call was made at a high-level segment of the 38th Meeting of the Parties (MOP38) on behalf of 13 other organisations from seven countries ten years after the world agreed to the Kigali Amendment in Rwanda.
The Centre for Environment Justice and Development (CEJAD) and its civil society partners have called on Parties to the Montreal Protocol to turn their commitments into adequate financing, effective enforcement and faster cuts to hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
