2010:
The Reality of CFC-free world - As the first day of
2010 dawns, the world is waking up to a new reality, one springing
from an unparalleled confidence in human ingenuity and a collective
belief that "we can".
This date is a defining moment in the history of multilateral
environmental agreements and a beacon of hope that success on
seemingly insurmountable and challenging global environmental
problems is achievable. This hope is echoed all over the world
by the ministers, key officials, industries, academia and civil
society.
Listen
to these echoes, their resounding messages and images. |
 Trends
Analysis: Consumption and Production of Ozone Depleting Substances
in Developing Countries:
This improved version of the Trends Analysis is based on an
interactive Flash module using a map-based interface, and
it provides more precise year-wise data to the user. Based
on official data reported by Governments to the Ozone Secretariat
under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, the module presents
country-wise analyses for the main substances controlled under
the Protocol, i.e. chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons
(HCFCs), halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride (CTC),
methyl chloroform (MCF). The graphics can be exported by the
user for use in publications and presentations.
