Montreal Protocol

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer 1. Introduction to the international agreement The Montreal Protocol came into effect as a result of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. The Convention founded ozone depletion as highly global environmental problem that required international consensus on regulating the use of CFC’s. Two years later, on September 16th 1987, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed by 24 countries and eventually entered into force on January 1st 1989. The Protocol was created to phase out the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances in order to effectively address the global atmospheric problem of stratospheric ozone…

(Welsh n.d.) As a result of these harmful impacts, the Montreal Protocol has taken the liberty in phasing out the manufacturing and use of CFC’s, a prime example of evidence-based policy making. This can be seen in Appendix C, Graph 1 (from UNEP Ozone Secretariat) which depicts the deadlines for production and consumption of Ozone depleting substances such as CFCs, Halons, Methyl chloroform, HCFCs, and many more.

Several explorers influenced the beginning of Montreal. Jacques Cartier sailed from France looking for a route to Asia in 1535. While exploring the Saint Lawrence River, he discovered a mountain in the middle of an island. He climbed the mountain and could see land for miles around. Thinking he had found the route to Asia, he named the mountain “Mont-Royal”. He kept exploring, and it would not be until the next century that the value of his discovery would be noticed. In 1609, Samuel de…

As the bleu chief, he had as a co-premier with John MacDonald in the Union parliaments of 1857-58 and 1858-62. In ministry, he had set motion to the movement towards confederation. Throughout this period one of Cartier’s chief achievements had been the engineering of the queen's choice for Ottawa be in the capital of the Canadas in 1857, his reason being that Ottawa had a more defensible military than Kingston, Toronto, Montreal or Quebec. And being on the border of two provinces of the union…
