Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) from 2024 with the goal of reducing the basic consumption of these harmful substances to the ozone layer from 2024 to 2028.
The consumption will decline at a rate of 10% in 2029-2034, 30% in 2035-2039, 50% in 2040-2044 and 80% from 2045. This issue has been included in the provisions of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and related documents.
To realise the above-mentioned roadmap, the Department of Climate Change under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has coordinated with the WB, the UNEP and relevant agencies and experts to devise a plan for the management and elimination of HFCs in Vietnam phase I (known as KIP I).
Through surveying, collecting and analysing data, specialised management agencies have grasped the situation of HFC consumption in Vietnam and forecast growth trends.
Their aim is to determine the necessary interventions in terms of mechanisms, investments and technical support to achieve the reduction of HFC consumption in line with international commitments./.
