Feb. 24, 2014: Alliance Supports Covering HFCs under Montreal Protocol
Measure Could Provide Global Commitment to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from HFCs
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy has announced its support for the negotiation of an amendment to the Montreal Protocol which would curtail the global growth of greenhouse gas emissions from HFCs. The statement of support was delivered at the U.S. Stakeholder Meeting on 2014 HFC Activities under the Montreal Protocol co-hosted by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
“We are ready to work to ensure the avoidance of rapid global growth scenarios in the use of HFCs and the development and implementation of substitute technologies that allow for a manageable transition around the globe,” said Kevin Fay, Alliance executive director, at the stakeholder meeting.
