The scientific interlinks between the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols.

Summary

Ozone depletion and climate change are linked in a number of ways. Some of the feedback is positive, thus enhancing ozone depletion or radiative forcing. Other feedback is negative and is thus favourably linked to the two global environmental problems. These processes will be reviewed and discussed in relation with potential interference between the mitigation measures taken by the Montreal Protocol and by the Kyoto Protocol with emphasis on the present state of knowledge and on the remaining uncertainties.
