« While it is a fact that the Montreal Protocol has resulted in a reduction of over 25 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, it is also true that further reductions in ozone depleting substances, including HCFCs, and other ozone depleting substances contained in equipment and buildings would support efforts to mitigate climate change and enable an earlier healing of the ozone layer. » - New York Times, 29 January 2003

« There can be no trade-offs between saving the ozone layer and minimizing climate change... it is on our power to maintain the Montreal Protocol's momentum while achieving the Kyoto Protocol's targets. It also reveals that many available win- win solutions are cost- competitive when compared with options for reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. » - 16 September 2004

« As for what lies beyond 2012, all governments will work together over the next few years to decide on future intergovernmental action on climate change. In this light, it is vital that stakeholders in government, industry and other arenas continue to work together to enlarge the replacement options for ozone-depleting substances in ways that serve the aims of the Montreal Protocol and UNFCCC alike. » - Viewpoint in the 50th issue of the OzonAction Newsletter, September 2005.

« Although climate change and ozone destruction are essentially different issues, our use of
certain chemicals links them together. We must continuously monitor, undertake research
and improve how we manage this group of extremely useful substances, which is implicated
in not one, but two of the major environmental problems we have ever known. » News article: UN tackles issue of gases that protect ozone layer but heat up world - 11 April 2005

« ...because ozone-depleting chemicals are also greehouses gases, the Protocol is instrumental in the fight against climate change. It has already averted greenhouses gas emissions equivalent to more than 135 billion tons of carbone dioxide, and will continue to play an important role... Let us use the governance tools contained in the existing ozone and climate change treaties to reduce environmental threats to sustainable development and human well-being. » - Message on the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, 16 September 2010.

And we still are looking for new alternatives and Ozone Friendly Technologies, which not only can reduce the emissions of the Ozone Depleting Substances, but also can bring about impressive effects by a decrease in the emissions of the Green-House Gases » - Port Ghalib, 2009 |
