Adjustments to Montreal Protocol
The Montreal Protocol was adjusted to accelerate the phase out schedules of
substances that deplete the ozone layer on the basis of periodic scientific
and technological assessments. Hence, adjustments to the Protocol were introduced
in London in 1990, Copenhagen in 1992, Vienna in 1995, Montreal in 1997, and
Beijing in 1999.
