Implementing the Montreal Protocol to restore the ozone layer
Article Abstract:
The worsening ozone depletion requires the decisive phase-out of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). The Montreal Protocol schedules the phaseout of groups of ODSs and provides ODS control measures. The MP allowed developing nations a 10 year grace period on the phaseout, but many have taken effective action and reduced ODS mainly because of the lower costs involved than those originally anticipated. Nevertheless, additional financial incentives and technical assistance to developing nations would accelerate response to the phaseout.
