Interlinked ODS Phase-out Activities Handbook: Improved Effectiveness of ODS Phase-out Activities in the Refrigeration Servicing Sector

The handbook argues that interlinked activities and stakeholder cooperation are essential to decrease emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in the refrigeration servicing sector. It notes that improving sector practices provides co-benefits, including extended equipment lifespan and reduced energy consumption. The document suggests that the market-driven transition and coordinated activities used for the Montreal Protocol may be applicable to other multilateral environmental agreements, such as those managing fluorinated gases under the Kyoto Protocol.

• Reducing emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerants in the servicing sector requires the implementation of interlinked activities conducted in cooperation with stakeholders.
• Updating practices in the refrigeration servicing sector yields benefits beyond ODS phase-out, specifically reducing energy consumption and increasing the lifespan of expensive equipment for owners, companies, and the community.
• The strategies for achieving reductions through coordinated activities and market-driven transitions under the Montreal Protocol may be relevant to government officers managing other agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol's regulations on fluorinated gases.
