Montreal Protocol

The Montreal Protocol aims to protect the ozone layer and control greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating ozone-depleting substances. It lists controlled substances in annexes and establishes targets for phasing them out. Developing countries are given more time to meet targets. The protocol requires statistical reporting, includes non-compliance procedures, and established a multilateral fund to help developing countries transition away from controlled substances. It was the first environmental agreement to recognize developing country needs and set binding reduction schedules.
