Produktbeschreibung

Since its initial inception in 1987, it has been realized that some actions taken to reduce depletion of the ozone layer under the Montreal Protocol could also influence global warming. When the Kyoto Protocol was negotiated in 1997, countries had new incentives to take account of how choices among substitutes to ozone-depleting substances could affect the objectives of both Protocols. This IPCC/TEAP Special Report provides the scientific context required for consideration of these choices. It provides invaluable information for researchers, policy-makers and engineers in academia, government, environmental organizations, and industry.
