Guidelines that describe practical steps
to phase out the use of ODS on UN premises,
|
Ozone Day is an excellent opportunity to show the public that
your National Ozone Unit (NOU) "practices what it preaches"
by announcing (or committing to) the phase out of ozone depleting
substances (ODS) in your own working environment. UNEP DTIE OzonAction
Programme developed guidelines to encourage and assist UN offices
to do this and they can be used make any office environment ODS-free.
These guidelines include identifying equipment that contain ODS,
deciding how to best phase out ODS, minimising the ODS loss during
the phase-out process, and ensuring that new equipment purchased
is ODS free. Includes real-life examples from UNEP Headquarters
in Nairobi.
Consider announcing on Ozone Day that your NOU, office or Ministry
is "ozone-friendly" if it does not use any ozone depleting
substances, or that you commit to achieving that status by a specific
date.
