Abstract

The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol is an international agreement which continues the effort to protect the ozone layer but adds the phase out of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases that contribute significantly to global warming. The international efforts on the Montreal Protocol are some of the most successful ones, with projections that the ozone layer will be healed 80% by 2050.
