Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

The intent of this paper is to reignite discussion on the benefits of basing policies on the 20 year global warming potential (GWP) of HFCs rather than on the current standard of 100 year GWP. The paper explores: the need for a global phase out of HFCs; the rationale for basing policies on the 20 year GWP of HFCs; annex 1: comparison of global projections of HFC emissions with 100 year GWP (GWP100) and 20 year GWP (GWP20) metrics; annex 2: comparison of the impact of proposed HFC phase down schedules with GWP20 and GWP100 metrics.
