The OzonAction iPIC Annual Report provides a clear overview of the operation of the informal Prior Informed Consent (iPIC) mechanism during 2023 and 2024. It also includes a retrospective analysis of data from the past 10–15 years, highlighting the platform’s evolution and impact. This report showcases iPIC’s key achievements and aims to promote its continued use—both by encouraging new participants and by inspiring existing parties to deepen their engagement. Developed and maintained by OzonAction, iPIC supports countries in managing trade in substances controlled under the Montreal Protocol, helping to prevent illegal or unwanted shipments. iPIC is a secure, access-restricted platform currently used by 112 countries and the European Union.
