AKARTA: Indonesia is set to host the ninth conference on the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, at the end of this month.
Alongside the 23rd meeting of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the conference will take place in Nusa Dua, Bali.
The Environment Ministry’s deputy for environmental degradation and climate change, Arief Yuwono, said that from 1993 to 2010, the country gathered US$61 million for reducing the use of substances that deplete the ozone layer.
The thinning ozone layer has been a global concern given in the rise in ultraviolet radiation.
The event is to discuss an amendment to the Montreal Protocol on the reduction rate of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), which has been proposed by the US, Mexico and Canada. These countries are demanding a reduction in HFC consumption.
Replacing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) as the material for aerosol cans, HFC has been increasingly seen as a major contributor to global warming.
The Montreal Protocol introduced a global ban on CFCs in 1979.
