Abstarct
The international agreements to protect the ozone layer - the Vienna Convention of 1985 and the Montreal Protocol of 1987, have a near universal participation and have been successful. Developing countries have implemented these agreements for the past 14 years benefiting the global environment but without adverse effects on their economic development. The countries can apply the lessons from the ozone agreements to deal with the climate change agreements.
The principal lessons are: creation of public awareness; involvement of all the stakeholders in negotiation and implementation of the agreements; active participation in the scientific and technological panels related to the agreements; understanding the new concepts such as incremental costs; capacity-building for assessment of national status, impacts, and new technologies, technology transfer and project preparation and implementation and understanding, choosing and implementing appropriate policy instruments.
INTRODUCTION
The ozone agreements – the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (1985) and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (1987) – have the objective of protection of the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the emissions of man-made ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
