Vital Ozone Graphics: Resource Kit for Journalists - Third Edition

This third, revised edition of “Vital Ozone Graphics” sheds a light onto the decisions taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol to accelerate the phase out of HCFCs and the implications this has on the use of replacement chemicals. It focuses on the links to climate both physically up in the air and on the institutional ground of international treaty negotiations and discusses the remaining challenges posed by the large amounts of banks of ozone depleting substances still present in equipment in use and stocked away, only safe for the atmosphere once entirely destroyed. The third edition is launched for the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol. It updates the previous edition with data and information available up to 2011.
