Lessons in Technology Transfer: Lessons Learned and Case Studies
Highlights some of the lessons learned from successful projects
under the Multilateral Fund of the Montreal Protocol by
countries in the Asia and Pacific region and illustrates the
experiences gained from non-ODS technology transferring
projects. These case studies could also be used for guiding the
transfer of environmental technologies under other international
conventions. Prepared by UNEP DTIE; the Centre for Science and
Technology of the non-aligned and Other Developing Countries
(NAM S and T); and the Asian and Pacific Centre for Transfer of
Technology (APCTT), 2000.
 Patterns
of Achievement: Africa and the Montreal Protocol
/
Modèles de réussite: L'Afrique et
le Protocole de Montréal
Reviews Africa's performance in meeting the freeze on CFC
consumption, reducing ODS consumption, etc. Focuses on
compliance, national actions, cooperation, technology transfer
and awareness raising.
Booklet, 2000. 23 pp. English and French
 Singapore's
Commitment to the Montreal Protocol
A short case study documenting the country's success in meeting
its commitments under the Montreal Protocol. Singapore’s
transitional experience was rather unique as it depended
strongly on market-based and voluntary approaches rather than
traditional command-and-control regulations. The Tender and
Quota Allocation System, in particular, stands out as an
effective way of using market mechanisms to regulate the
consumption of ODS in the industries. Together with other
measures, Singapore successfully phased out the consumption of
CFCs and halons well ahead of the time frame set for developing
countries. Singapore Ministry of Environment, 1999.
 The
Montreal Protocol: India's Success Story
A booklet describing India's commitment to the Montreal Protocol
and its successes in achieving ODS reductions through a
combination of awareness raising, investment and non-investment
projects and policy measures. As a result of this package of
activities coordinated by the Ozone Cell, India has been able to
fulfill its obligation of freezing ODs consumption by July 1999
as required under the Protocol. The booklet includes historical
consumption and production of ODs, approved projects under the
Multilateral Fund, summaries of ODs projects and progress in
various sectors and overviews of regulatory/policy measures.

Guidelines
 Guidelines
for Development of Refrigerant Management Plans (English)
RMPs are comprehensive phase-out plans and strategies for the
refrigeration and air-conditioning sectors that are prepared and
implemented at the national level. RMPs are particularly
well-suited for Low-Volume ODS-consuming countries (LVCs). These
guidelines were approved by the 23rd Executive Committee and
amended by the 31st Executive Committee meeting. OzonAction
Programme, 2000.
 Training
Guidelines for Identification of Needs and Coordination of
Activities /
Directrices de Capacitacion Para la Identificacion de las
Necesidades y la Coordinaction de las Actividades (Español) /
Schemas Directeurs pour la mise en
place d'une formation a un projet de non-investissement
(Français)
Guidelines for the development of "non-investment" training
projects, plus training related to the implementation of
Refrigerant Management Plans. These guidelines were approved by
the Executive Committee at it 23rd meeting. November 1997.
Handbooks
 Standards
and Codes of Practice to Eliminate Dependency on Halons:
Handbook of Good Practices in the Halon Sector
A handbook that explains the importance of standards and codes
of practice in the phase out process and provides guidance on
how to use those instruments to support the safe and timely
transition to alternatives. The handbook is designed for
National Ozone Units, governments and fire protection
communities responsible for planning and implementing the
Montreal Protocol halon provisions. It identifies the types of
standards and codes of practice that are relevant to the
Protocol and provides step-by-step guidance on how to establish
new, or revise existing, standards and codes of practice to
promote the halon phase out. OzonAction Programme and the Fire
Protection Research Foundation. May 2001.
Information Papers
 The
Montreal Protocol Control Schedule and its Evolution
This short paper provides a concise overview of the phase out
schedule under the treaty. It identifies the date and meeting
when each Amendment and/or Adjustment was agreed, and the date
when each came into force. The paper provides the reader with an
evolution table for each group of the controlled substances that
are indicated in the Annexes of the Montreal Protocol.

Policy Compilations
 Methyl
Bromide Phase-Out Strategies: A Global Compilation of Laws and
Regulations
Provides an overview of the various policy options that can be
taken to replace methyl bromide and outlines existing policies
on methyl bromide in over 90 countries. The compilation can be
used by NOUs, Agriculture Ministries and Pesticide Control
Authorities to assist in the development of national action
plans for methyl bromide phase out. OzonAction Programme
September 1999.
 Update
of Regulations to Control ODS
A reference document designed for use by ODS officers and legal
officers in Article 5 countries responsible for structuring and
drafting of regulations to control and eliminate the use of ODS.
It provides a brief overview of the structure and strategies in
existing ODS regulations in 58 developing and developed
countries, encompassing all governmental directives of a
legally-binding nature. Also contains information about
governmental guidelines, voluntary agreements and cooperation
with industry, cooperation with industry associations, economic
disincentives and labeling schemes. OzonAction Programme and
Stockholm Environment Institute, 2000.
Reports and
Studies
 Inter-Linkages
between the Ozone and Climate Change Conventions - Part I:
Inter-Linkages between the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols
A report developed as a contribution to the World Sumit on
Sustainable Development (WSSD) that investigates the interfaces
and synergies between the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols. This
report not only focuses on past performance, but also examines
the need and potential for greater coordination during the
implementation of multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs).
The lessons learned from achieving coherence during the
implementation of MEAs - specifically through this case study of
the conventions on ozone and climate change - should also be
relevant to other MEA areas. Produced by the United Nations
University, UNEP DTIE OzonAction Programme, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology Global System for Sustainable
Development (GSSD), and the Alliance for Global Sustainability
Value of Knowledge Project. 2002.

Publications-
Heat Pump Centre Newsletter: Mitigating Ozone Depletion and
Global Warming
This Newsletter was produced jointly with UNEP DTIE (United
Nations Environment Programme Division of Technology, Industry
and Economics) OzonAction Programme on the occasion of
International Ozone Day, 16 September 2001. The collaboration
with this organisation has a tradition of many years, with e.g.
contributions from the
IEA Heat Pump Centre to the Montreal Protocol
Reassessment/Technical Options Committee Refrigeration report.
This Newsletter focuses on the interlinkage between ozone
depletion and global warming and successful strategies to
mitigate either or both.
