Handbook for the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the Ozone Layer - seventh edition
UNEP, 2006Since 1991 the publication of the Handbook for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (1987) has proved to be an invaluable reference source for the decisions the Parties have made in the process of developing the ozone regime. The Handbook itself is published in response to the Parties’ decision (made in 1990) requesting the Secretariat to publish and update regularly a Handbook, setting out the Protocol, as adjusted and amended, together with the decisions of the Parties and other relevant material. Since then, the Protocol has been adjusted on six occasions and ame ...

Capacity building for ozone monitoring in developing countries
WMO, 2006Capacity building for ozone monitoring and research in developing countries and in countries with economies in transition comes from the general commitments anchored in the Vienna Convention. The Parties under the Vienna Convention established the Trust Fund for Research and Systematic Observations for funding activities consistent with the objectives of the Vienna Convention and the recommendations of the Ozone Research Managers’ Meetings. Those aims are also consistent with the Strategy for the Implementation of the Global Atmosphere Watch Programme (GAW) of the World Meteorological Organiza ...

Global spatial data and information : development, dissemination and use - report of a workshop
SEDAC, 2005Many different global- and regional-scale datasets on the environment and human development are being developed and disseminated by a range of institutions around the world. With the increasing use of more open, interactive mapping servers and greater capabilities by users to access and utilize large global datasets comes the potential for increased problems related to inconsistent data integration and visualization, variable data quality and documentation, uncoordinated proliferation of different versions of data sets, unnecessary duplication of effort, excessively complex restrictions on dat ...

Facing the Facts: Assessing the Vulnerability of Africa's Water Resources to Environmental Change
UNEP, 2005Africa's high dependence on natural resources makes its people vulnerable to environmental change. Acknowledging this, UNEP and START initiated a study in Feb. 2003 - (Vulnerability of Water Resources to Environmental Change in Afica). In the publication 4 regional groups of researchers address the vulnerability issue in Southern, Eastern, Western and Northern Africa by means of selected river/lake/groundwater,basins according to natural (physuigraphic) anthropogenic (socio-economic) and management criteria. The basin was selected as a key unit for assessment because it balances resource prote ...

16 Years of Scientific Assessment in Support of the Climate Convention
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - IPCC, 2004Sixteen years ago UNEP and WMO established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide independent scientific advice on the complex and important issue of climate change. The Panel was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). At the occasion of the 10-year anniversary of the Climate Convention it is ...

Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2002 - Executive Summary (GORMP 47)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); et al. - WMO, 2003It has been recognized since the 1970s that a number of compounds emitted by human activities deplete stratospheric ozone. The montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone layer was adopted in 1987 to protect global ozone and, consequently, protect life from increased ultraviolet (UV) radiation at Earth’s surface. Chlorine- and brominecontaining substances that are controlled by the montreal Protocol are known as ozone-depleting substances (ODSs).
ODSs are responsible for the depletion of stratospheric ozone observed in polar regions (for example, the “ozone hole” above An ...
