The thirty-fifth meeting of the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG 35) of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer reconvened on Thursday, 23 April 2015, in Bangkok, Thailand. OEWG 35 spent most of the day discussing key issues for discussion towards a possible HFC management policy and legal framework under the Montreal Protocol, including: phase-down, taking into account hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) phase-out; means to address sector- and country-specific challenges; strengthening existing means of implementation; and capacity-building, technology transfer, funding requirements and financial mechanism.
At the end of the day, OEWG 35 discussed possible ways forward based on a conference room paper (CRP) submitted by Senegal and Zimbabwe, on behalf of the Africa Group, which called for the creation of a contact group to consider proposals to amend the Montreal Protocol and suggested specific issues that should be considered by such a group. |
