Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book aims to take a comprehensive look at the Montreal Protocol from its very beginnings to the present, looking toward the future. Extract from the table of contents: Section I. Early history: science, diplomacy, and leadership. Section II. Dynamic evolution: technology, assessment, and funding (this section lays out the structure of the Montreal Protocol, including the development of the Multilateral Fund which has made possible the involvement of developing countries in the phase-outs of ozone-depleting substances). Section III. New challenges: following through with ozone and joining the climate battle (this section addresses the issue of climate change, and notes that while it is appropriate to commend the Montreal Protocol and the ozone team for past successes, we cannot stop there).
