2. The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy
Industry coalition since 1980
More than three decades of responsible leadership in ozone production and climate change policy
Represents producers of fluorocarbons and industry sectors that manufacture products containing or utilizing fluorocarbons
Organized originally to address ozone protection
Transitioned to addressing fluorocarbon issues as they related to climate change
Currently composed of manufacturers and businesses, including their trade associations

4. Industry’s Keys to a Successful Phasedown
Montreal Protocol success due to steady process and proven methodology
Science-based approach
Guided by economic and technical feasibility to assure performance
Consideration of special financial and policy needs of Article 5 countries
Global HFC cap and phasedown is preferable to regional or sub-regional regulation for avoiding disruptions in industry’s ability to provide critical consumer products
Complexities of an HFC phasedown require a unified, global approach
Predictability & regulatory consistency are key
Montreal Protocol process and institutions have worked well and provide the best opportunity for:
fair consideration of the technical and economic issues associated with reducing HFC GWP contributions
developing manageable, feasible and sustainable proposals
funding for Article 5 countries
Phasedown schedule
Include targets guided by continuing technology reviews
Take in to account the need for servicing the equipment base
Provide appropriate accommodations for Article 5 countries
Global refrigerant management efforts are critical
Bank of installed base is approximately 20 GtCO2eq (CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs)
