Safeguarding the ozone layer and the global climate system (pdf 696kb)

This IPCC Special Report provides a balanced scientific, technical and policy relevant report regarding alternatives to ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) that affect the global climate system.

This report considers the effects of total emissions of ODSs and their substitutes on the climate system and the ozone layer. In particular, this provides a context for understanding how replacement options could affect global warming. The report does not attempt to cover comprehensively the effect of replacement options on the ozone layer.

The report considers, by sector, options for reducing halocarbon emissions, options involving alternative substances, and technologies to address greenhouse gas emissions reduction.
