Summary

This summary report was produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) on the invitation of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Montreal Protocol. It provides a balanced scientific, technical and policy-related assessment that will assist all concerned in taking decisions when considering alternatives to ozone-depleting substances. The report provides the scientific context required for consideration of choices among alternatives to ODSs; potential methodologies for assessing options; and technical issues relating to greenhouse gas emission reduction opportunities for each of the sectors involved, including refrigeration, air conditioning, foams, aerosols, fire protection, and solvents. It also addresses the future availability of HFCs. Extract from the table of contents: halocarbons, ozone depletion and climate change; production, banks and emissions; options for ODS phase-out and reducing greenhouse gas emissions; important findings for sectors using ODSs and their alternatives. The full Special Report is published by Cambridge University Press; the digital version can be assessed via the website of the IPCC Secretariat. This summary of the report (in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) can be downloaded from the Web site: www.ipcc.ch.
