Protecting the ozone layer – Malaysia implementing the Montreal Protocol

Malaysia’s success in implementing the Montreal Protocol can be seen both in declining imports and consumption of CFCs, from 3,442 metric tonnes in 1995 to 662 metric tonnes in 2005, and in the institutional framework, particularly the establishment of the Ozone Protection Section. Globally, the Montreal Protocol is seen as one of the most successful International Conventions and Malaysia has made substantial progress in implementing the Protocol.
