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 ...
Use of chlorofluorocarbons in hydrology : a guidebook
IAEA, 2006Development of the chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) technique as a tool for dating groundwater has occurred over the past 20 years, and a number of research publications have documented its use in specific aquifers. This publication is intended to facilitate a comparative analysis of CFC and isotope techniques and a wider use of the CFC technique under appropriate conditions, by providing a description of its scientific basis, sampling and measurement methods, interpretation and limitations of data, and a variety of case studies.

Economic instruments for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
The Royal Society, 2002The need to reduce anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere – notably carbon dioxide (CO2) – is crucial to slowing down the rate of global climate change. Governments can reduce these emissions by advocacy, by regulation and by the application of economic instruments. Economic analysis shows convincingly that placing primary emphasis on the use of economic instruments provides the most
cost-effective route for such emission reduction. In this report we consider two generic types of economic instrument that could provide the most effective solution to rising CO2 em ...
