In April 2013, the UN announced that it would provide $380
million in funding to China to phase out HCFCs by 2030. Currently, China is the
largest producer and consumer in the world of HCFCs, which deplete the ozone.
If China lives up to this agreement, it will prevent more than 4.3 million MT
of HCFCs from being released in the atmosphere. This will also prevent the
equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of 8 billion tonnes of CO2.

In 2010, the Montreal Protocol successfully phased out the
use of CFCs worldwide. HCFCs are one of the last remaining substances to phase
out under the Montreal Protocol. China’s work towards stopping the production
of HCFCs should help meet the Montreal Protocol’s phase-out schedule.
