The Montreal Protocol aims to protect the ozone layer and control greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating ozone-depleting substances. It lists controlled substances in annexes and establishes targets for phasing them out. Developing countries are given more time to meet targets. The protocol requires statistical reporting, includes non-compliance procedures, and established a multilateral fund to help developing countries transition away from controlled substances. It was the first environmental agreement to recognize developing country needs and set binding reduction schedules.

SUBSTANTIVE INNOVATIONS 1. First MEA to recognize to need for phased commitments for developing countries 2. Binding time schedule for freeze and reduction of ODS or ‘controlled substances’ 3. Important catalyst for the development of alternatives to Ozone depleting substances 4. Requirement for countries reporting of production, consumption and trade of ODS

Implementation challenges Developing countries perception of air pollution and ozone depletion as problems of the industrialized world Reduced capacity on the part of developing countries to assimilate and absorb new technologies Reporting for developing countries in light of limited capacity and resources to report production consumption
