Ten years of the Kigali Amendment: Industry, Innovation, and a Cooler Future.
UNIDO works with governments, businesses, and partners around the world to turn global commitments into tangible results on the ground.

#KigaliAmendment #ClimateAction
10 years of the #KigaliAmendment: 175 countries on board, HFCs set to fall 80–85% by 2047 and up to 0.5°C of warming avoided by 2100. Industry is driving the shift to sustainable cooling. #ClimateAction #MontrealProtocol @UNEPozone
In Oct 2016, countries in Kigali agreed to phase down HFCs, cooling gases that trap heat thousands of times more than CO₂. The Amendment entered into force in 2019, building on the Montreal Protocol's proven success. #OzoneLayer #KigaliAmendment
Industry is where Kigali becomes real: low-GWP and natural refrigerants, more efficient cooling equipment, skilled technicians, cleaner supply chains. UNIDO supports countries to make the shift. #IndustrialSustainability #SustainableCooling
Chapter 2 of The Future of Industrialization – Rethinking Economic Development explores green industrial policy, moving beyond business as usual and the private sector’s role in building a more inclusive, sustainable future of industrialization.
