During the 28th Meeting of the Parties to Montreal Protocol, 197 Parties adopted the amendment of Montreal Protocol, and agreed to the global phase-out of the production and the use of HFCs, one of the greenhouse gases. The amendment set out three timetables for the phase-out of HFCs. The impact of HFCs on climate change is more severe than carbon dioxide. The phase-out of HFCs would help to globally implement the 2℃ temperature control target which was set by parties in the Paris Agreement. We followed the process, and published and communicated timely observation papers of the outcome.
