Egyptian Parliament approves ratification of Kigali Amendment
The Parliament of Egypt, headed by Counselor Dr. Hanafi Jabali, approved Presidential Resolution No. 32 of 2023 regarding the approval of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, which aims to keep pace with the global trend in the field of technology modernization within the framework of preserving the environment and achieving sustainable development.
The amendment provides for the inclusion of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are used in some refrigeration and air-conditioning devices, within the schedules of substances subject to the control of the Montreal Protocol, and the gradual reduction of the consumption of these substances because they are among the most powerful gases that cause global warming, especially since they have many climate-friendly alternatives that achieve efficiency and reduce in energy consumption.
