Phasing out ODS in developing countries: policy design and setting up legislation
Document
1998

All Parties to the Montreal Protocol must eliminate the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances (ODS) according to specified phase-out schedules. Consumption is in this context defined as imports plus production minus exports. This resource module is intended to assist government officers in developing countries in their work to meet these commitments.

Montreal Protocol
Treaty
01 Jan 1989

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was designed to reduce the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances in order to reduce their abundance in the atmosphere, and thereby protect the earth a€™s fragile ozone Layer. The original Montreal Protocol was agreed on 16 September 1987 and entered into force on 1 January 1989.
