The GEF and the Montreal ProtocolThe GEF and the Montreal Protocol

• Since 1992 support to Montreal Protocol in Countries withEconomies in Transition.

• 30 projects in 18 countries.

• Over $210m GEF resources;$250m cofinancing.

• Phased out 20,000 ODP tons consumption and 29,000 ODP tons production.

Outcomes of the 5th GEF ReplenishmentOutcomes of the 5th GEF Replenishment

• Pledges of $4.3 billion for next four years (52% increase).

• $420m for Chemicals including $25m for ODS to support CEITs in meeting MP obligations.

• $1350m for CO2 mitigation including:$300 for Transfer of low carbon technologies; $250m for energy efficiency.

• Reforms to continue to improve efficiency and country ownership, including a flexible resource allocation system (STAR).

Synergies with the POPs ProgramSynergies with the POPs Program• 47 projects in 50 countries address

POPs waste management.

• Capacities and infrastructure built for collection; safe storage; disposal – can be mobilised for ODS destruction.

• A project looking at requirements for ODS destruction in addition to POPs.

• Can be replicated: what is required is inter-sectoral collaboration – particularly for planning and design.

Synergies with the GEF Climate Mitigation ProgramSynergies with the GEF Climate Mitigation Program

• Energy efficiency projects involve phase out and collection of ODS in refrigerants, foam insulation.

• Often include collection of the appliance for disposal: a significant portion of the barrier/cost of disposal.

• One example in preparation includes generation of credits through the voluntary carbon market.

• Can be replicated. Need energy & environment sectors to collaborate: plan early !

In SummaryIn Summary

• Strong GEF replenishment with funds for Montreal Protocol for obligations of CEITs.

• GEF-4: pilot demonstration destruction in Russia; GEF-5: pilot in Eastern Europe / Central Asia possible.

• Opportunities to advance synergies with POPs and Climate mitigation programs.

• Collaboration encouraged at planning and design stages so that ODS aspects are considered and prioritised.
