Substances that deplete the ozone layer, adopted in Kigali

This procedure concerns an international agreement to amend the Montreal Protocol. The amendment aims to phase down the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are potent greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.

The Kigali Amendment will affect industries that use HFCs, such as refrigeration and air conditioning. It aims to protect the climate by reducing emissions of these harmful substances.
