This book contains the stories of the hard work of the past 20 years that went into making the Montreal Protocol work. As the biggest producer and consumer of ozone depleting substances, the Asia-Pacific region has shown that it is possible to work together when faced with a global environmental threat. This publication can serve as a guide for other multilateral environmental agreements to also think globally and act locally.
UN Environment Programme is an Implementing Agency of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol. OzonAction is part of UN Environment Programme's Law Division and serves 147 developing countries through the Compliance Assistance Programme.
