🇰🇷 South Korea is way behind in its quest to phasedown HFCs in line with the 2016 Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol. Parties to the Protocol will convene in 🇹🇭 Bangkok, Thailand from July 7-11 for the 47th Open-Ended Working Group meeting, where the agenda will include ♻️ lifecycle refrigerant management (LRM), 🧪 feedstock use of controlled substances, 💪🏽 strengthening Montreal Protocol institutions and enhancing 📊 regional atmospheric monitoring of Protocol-controlled substances. #OEWG47 will lay the groundwork for the 37th meeting of Parties to the Montreal Protocol (#MOP37) set to take place in Nairobi this November. Ahead of the meeting, we take a closer look at South Korea’s HFCs problem – and what stakeholders need to do to address it.

An Asia-based Methane Import Standard could be a gamechanger for global methane mitigation. As the world’s largest net importer of fossil fuels, 🌏 Asia is responsible for a significant portion of global methane emissions, making it a prime location for a new regulatory framework aimed at reducing them. 🇰🇷 South Korea, where 98% of oil and gas is imported, is uniquely positioned to lead this effort, using its market influence to push for methane reductions in exporting countries – some with the highest methane leakage rates in the world. Our latest report, co-authored with Carbon Limits AS, highlights how a South Korea-based methane import standard could ⚖️ increase methane accountability, 💪🏽strengthen existing frameworks like the EU Methane Regulation, and 🎯form part of a viable, near-term climate strategy for the biggest methane emitting region in the world. #ClimateAction #Methane #MethaneMitigation #SFOC 🔍 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/ggyDzsEv 🔍 Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/gGZTbkcH
