5、nt Context:HCFCs that need to be phased-out from current uses need to be replaced by alternative technologies-significant part of which still depend on HFCs If growth in HFCs is uncontrolled,it will make it harder for countries to meet the HFC Phasedown obligations.Thus,some current HCFC application
6、s need to directly adopt low GWP alternatives in order to curb the growth trajectory.Countries need to ban the import and use of HCFCs and HCFC-based equipment as soon as possible to comply with the full phase-out by 2030(excluding the 2.5%servicing tail from 2030 through 2040).Environmental co-bene
