The recent negotiations around the HFC phase-down amendment to the Montreal Protocol have made an assessment of alternatives to HFCs crucial. Natural alternatives to HFCs are low GWP, non-patented and energy efficient. A transition to these alternatives would minimize costs and maximize energy and emissions savings.
In the ongoing negotiations to amend the Montreal Protocol to phase-down the use of hydroflourocarbons (HFCs), Intellectual Property Rights of substitute chemicals—mainly unsaturated HFCs (also called HFOs) and its blends—have become a major point of difference between developed and developing countries.
Lived Anomaly is about what is happening to farmers in India because of extreme weather events, largely as told by farmers themselves. Its basis is the winter–spring of 2015 and the telling aftermath. The report is also a peek into the future-what we should expect as our planet continues to heat up due to the incessant increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
Adaptation is necessary to manage the risks posed by climate change. Rising to the Call is a collection of stories from all over India about the nature of extreme weather events experienced, how communities are responding and successful adaptation practices emerging out of these experiences.
It should take the lead in setting terms and conditions for any agreement on HFCs
