Background
Office/Unit/Project Description
The Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to protect the Earth’s ozone layer. It was agreed upon in 1987 and entered into force in 1989. The Peruvian government has been a signatory to the Montreal Protocol since 1987 and ratified it in 1993. Its main objective is to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, and other related compounds.
On the other hand, the Kigali Amendment, adopted in October 2016 during a meeting in Rwanda, is a modification to the Montreal Protocol that focuses on reducing the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. This amendment establishes a timeline for developed countries to progressively reduce HFC production and consumption, while granting developing countries longer deadlines. The Peruvian government ratified it in 2019.
The competent authority for the implementation of the Montreal Protocol in Peru is the Ministry of Production of Peru (PRODUCE), through the General Directorate of Environmental Affairs and Industry (DGAAMI). This entity is responsible for implementing and promoting national actions to comply with the country’s commitments under the Protocol.
Within the framework of these international agreements, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is currently assisting the Peruvian Government, through the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), in the management and design of the Montreal Protocol and Kigali Amendment Project Portfolio, which includes the following projects:
- HCFC Phase-Out Management Plan – PGEH, Phase II for Peru (in progress)
- Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) Phase-Out Management Plan – PGEH, Phase III for Peru (under design)
