Abstract

Recalling decision XXXII/12 on financial reports and budgets for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer,

Taking note of the financial report for the Trust Fund for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer for the fiscal year 2020,¹

Recognizing the voluntary contributions of parties as an essential complement for the effective implementation of the Montreal Protocol,

Welcoming the continued efficient management by the Secretariat of the finances of the Trust Fund for the Montreal Protocol,

Recognizing that the exceptional circumstances arising from the coronavirus disease (COVID‑19) pandemic have resulted in a lower utilization of the budget in 2021, and taking this into account with respect to the level of contributions for 2022,

To approve the revised budget, including the additional activities, of $3,619,899 for 2021 and the budget of $5,608,190 for 2022 and to take note of the indicative budget for 2023, as set out in table A of the annex to the present decision, to be considered further by the Thirty-Fourth Meeting of the Parties;
To authorize the Executive Secretary, on an exceptional basis, to draw upon the available cash balance for 2022, provided that the cash balance is not reduced below the working capital reserve:
1. In an amount of up to $246,939 for specific activities listed in table A of the annex to the present decision, which includes an indicative amount for an extraordinary meeting of the parties in 2022;
2. As needed and in line with the costs of previous similar meetings for the convening of an extraordinary meeting of the parties as called for in decision XXXIII/3;
To approve the contributions to be paid by the parties in the amount of $2,597,681 for 2022 and to take note of the contributions for 2023 as set out in table B of the annex to the present decision;
To authorize the Secretariat to draw down from the cash balance the funds required to cover the shortfall between the level of contributions agreed upon in paragraph 3 of the present decision and the approved budget for 2022 as set out in paragraph 1 of the present decision;
To reaffirm that a working capital reserve shall be maintained at a level of 15 per cent of the annual budget, to be used to meet the final expenditures under the Trust Fund, noting that the working capital reserve shall be set aside from the existing cash balance;
To encourage parties and other stakeholders to contribute financially and by other means to assist the members of the three assessment panels and their subsidiary bodies with a view to ensuring their continued participation in assessment activities under the Montreal Protocol;
To express its appreciation regarding the fact that a number of parties have paid their contributions for 2021 and prior years, and to urge those parties that have not done so to pay their outstanding contributions promptly and in full and all parties to pay their future contributions promptly and in full;
To request the Executive Secretary to enter into discussions with any party whose contributions have been outstanding for two or more years with a view to finding a way forward, and to report to the Thirty-Fourth Meeting of the Parties on the outcome of those discussions to enable further consideration by the parties of how to address the matter;
To request the Executive Secretary to continue to provide regular information on earmarked contributions and to include that information, where relevant, in the budget proposals of the Trust Fund to enhance transparency with regard to the actual income and expenses of the Trust Fund;
To request the Executive Secretary to continue to prepare fact sheets for the presentation of future budgets;
To request the Secretariat to ensure the full utilization of the programme support resources available to it in 2022 and in later years and, where possible, to offset programme support resources against the administrative components of the approved budget;
To request the Secretariat to indicate in future financial reports of the Trust Fund the amounts of cash on hand and the status of contributions to the Trust Fund;
To request the Executive Secretary to prepare budgets and work programmes for the years 2023 and 2024, based on the projected needs, for two budget scenarios:
1. A zero-nominal-growth scenario;
2. A scenario based on recommended adjustments to the zero-nominal-growth scenario, indicating the added costs or savings related thereto;
To stress the need to continue to ensure that the budget proposals are realistic and represent the agreed priorities of all parties to help ensure a sustainable and stable fund and cash balance, including contributions.

Part of the budget for 2022 may be used towards the development of the system; A national United Nations volunteer to support the scientific and technical aspects of the Secretariat’s work; Awareness-raising campaigns to complement the funds under the core budget; Costs related to the convening of the extraordinary meeting of the parties; Costs of participation by Article 5 parties in the extraordinary meeting of the parties.
