Replenished Funding, Renewed Ambition
Meeting the Climate Crisis Head-On
This year, 2026, marks an important milestone for the Montreal Protocol. In October, Parties will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Kigali Amendment, the moment which saw the ozone treaty turn decisively to face the climate threat posed by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). As we approach the Kigali celebrations, the 48th meeting of the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG48) offers the global community an opportunity to reflect on this successful example of multilateral environmental cooperation, as well as challenges that remain.
This briefing outlines the Environmental Investigation Agency’s analysis and recommendations on agenda items to be discussed at OEWG48.
