Vietnam joins global community in protecting ozone layer
During the past 30 years of participating in the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, Vietnam has made efforts to synchronously implement various mechanisms, policies and solutions to manage and eliminate ozone-depleting substances, and has achieved some encouraging results.
To date, Vietnam has completely eliminated CFCs, halons, CTCs and HCFCs used in foam production and strictly controls the substances under the Montreal Protocol. Methyl bromide is only used for disinfection purposes.
If the measures are implemented according to the roadmap, by 2045 Vietnam will reduce emissions by more than 11 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent from eliminating controlled substances, not to mention the amount of emission reduction achieved through efforts to switch to climate-friendly technology and the recycle and reuse of controlled substances, contributing to the goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
