200 Countries Sign International Agreement
HFC prohibitions added to CFC ban to stop ozone loss
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.
