Improving the Montreal Protocol
The Montreal Protocol, the 1987 international agreement to address atmospheric ozone depletion
A first of its kind agreement and model for international climate action
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/15/world/africa/kigali-deal-hfc-air-conditioners.html
The Kigali accord is “much, much, much stronger than Paris,” said Durwood Zaelke, the president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, a research organization. “This is a mandatory treaty. Governments are obligated to comply.”
The Kigali deal has been seven years in the making. It is not a stand-alone agreement but an amendment to an existing environmental treaty, the Montreal Protocol, the landmark 1987 pact designed to close the hole in the ozone layer by banning ozone-depleting coolants called chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs.
