Protecting the Ozone Layer - Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete
the Ozon Layer
UNDP/BDP/EEG, 2007, 44p
2007 marks the 20th anniversary of the Montreal
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the international
treaty that aims to protect the ozone layer by phasing out consumption
and production of ozone depleting substances (ODS) used in a myriad of
applications around the world. The Protocol was built through recognition
that while ozone depleting substances permeated modern life and played
an important role with respect to human development, they also can pose
significant risks to both the environment and human health. At the time
of its adoption in 1987, the Protocol was at the vanguard as it signaled
the global community’s acceptance of the first legally binding international
multilateral environmental agreement, heralding a new era of environmental
responsibility. It was established through a participatory process that
brought government decision-makers, scientists and academics, industry
partners and civil society to the table in search of a solution for the
protection of a global good. Today, the Montreal Protocol is widely lauded
as an example of international cooperation at its best! |

IAEA, 14 April 2005. STI/PUB/1222, 161 pp.; 1 figures; 2005, ISBN 92-0-116204-9.
This publication presents a set of energy indicators for sustainable
development and is a versatile analytical tool for countries to track
their progress on energy for sustainable development. The thematic
framework, guidelines, methodologies and energy indicators set out
in this publication reflect the expertise of five international agencies
and organizations (International Atomic Energy Agency, United Nations
Department of Economic and Social Affairs, International Energy Agency,
Eurostat and European Environment Agency) recognized worldwide as leaders
in energy and environmental statistics and analysis. General guidelines
and specific methodology sheets for 30 energy indicators are outlined
in this report for statisticians, analysts, policy makers and academics
to use in their efforts to analyse the effects of energy policies on
the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
