ShareIndia submits amendment proposal to the Montreal Protocol proposing a phase-down of HFCs
India had for years opposed a phase-down of HFCs under the Montreal Protocol. India's amendment calls for a 15-year “grace period” for developing countries.
On 16 April, just before the 35th Meeting of the Open-ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in Bangkok, an amendment proposal was submitted by India aiming to phase down production and consumption of HFCs under the framework of the Montreal Protocol.
India's amendment calls for a 15-year “grace period” for developing countries “to ensure availability of safe, technically proven, energy efficient, environmentally friendly, economically viable, commercially available, matured non-HFC technologies”.
