ExCom97 presents a critical opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative multilateralism and advance cost-effective climate and ozone mitigation, at a time when global action is more urgent than ever.
For more than three decades, the Multilateral Fund (MLF) has played a crucial role in protecting the ozone layer and mitigating climate change.

This is the third Leaking Havoc investigation in a new geographic region, showing the widespread nature of this issue.
EIA's updated Canadian Climate-Friendly Supermarket Scorecard assesses major Canadian supermarket chains on actions to reduce super-polluting HFCs.
