Summary

Event Details

Date 13:00–15:00pm (Eastern African Time), November 6, 2025
Participants Representatives form governments, international organizations, research institutions, private sectors, and other relevant parties
Objectives To address delays in the end-of-life management and destruction of ODS and HFC, global destruction capacity and related data were visualized and shared.
Building on this information, discussions were held on future needs for LRM infrastructure and possible pathways for financing such investments.

Meeting Content

End-of-life management of ODS and HFCs remains one of the most significant gaps in meeting the objectives of the Montreal Protocol and Kigali Amendment. To help close this gap, the Carbon Containment Lab has been mapping and verifying destruction facilities worldwide‚ documenting available technologies, treatment capacities, and the scale of gases awaiting disposal. This side event marked the public launch of this global dataset and invite Parties, experts, and stakeholders to contribute to strengthen it further. The panel highlighted the financing options for LRM infrastructure needs, ranging from the Multilateral Fund (MLF) to international financial institutions such as the World Bank, regional development banks, and carbon markets.

OECC Director Kato delivered a video presentation on Japan’s experience with the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), specifically highlighting the robust MRV system and management under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which enable the generation of highly credible carbon credits.
