The Cabinet on Tuesday decided to ratify two amendments to the Montreal Protocol on protecting the Ozone layer from depletion. The ratification of the Montreal and Copenhagen amendments would formally reiterate India's commitment to the Montreal Protocol on Ozone depleting substances and protecting the Ozone layer. A government spokesperson said that the ratification would also give India trade and other benefits under the Montreal Protocol and facilitate technology transfer and funding of projects using Hydrochloroflurocarbos and Methyl Bromide.
