9. MP impact on food security
MP and health
↓ ozone layer =
↑ UV radiation
↑ skin cancer
↑ eye damage, cataracts
↓ immune system
ODS in refrigeration sector, cold chain for medicines /vaccines, primary health care
MP impact on food security
↓ plankton in oceans
↓ agricultural productivity
ODS use in refrigeration sector
extends shelf life of food products
is essential for sustainable food production systems
Jobs and skills
supports industrial enterprises & technicians to transition to non ODS
 implications
business continuity,
job creation, competitiveness
increase productivity and industry innovation for ODS alternative technologies
Montreal Protocol twin goals:
ozone protection and GHG mitigation
8 Giga Tons of CO2-eq/ year
5xs > 1st commitment period of Kyoto Protocol target as a result of CFC phase-out
OzonAction promotes low GWP climate friendly alternatives to ODS
& energy efficient alternatives
