Synthesis of the Reports of the Scientific, Environmental Effects, and Technology and Economic Assessment Panels of the Montreal Protocol

A Decade of Assessments for Decision Makers Regarding the Protection of the Ozone Layer

Format *
The information synthesized in this report was drawn from the full reports of the three Assessment Panels: the Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion 1998; the Environmental Effects of Ozone Depletion 1998 and the 1998 Report of the Technological and Economics Assessment Panel. This synthesis report provides a historical context, illustrating how the past assessment reports were utilized by and reflected in the sequence of decisions by the Parties; gives capsule summaries of the major 1998 findings of the three Assessment Panels; and focuses on 'the future' by analysing examples of possible options for policy consideration regarding potential further measures for the protection of the ozone layer. In addition, the report includes a section on questions frequently asked by the public about the ozone layer issue and in the last section, the report offers an interesting discussion on 'the world we avoided', giving a forecast of what could have occurred had there been no Montreal Protocol.
