Résumé

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer represents a major political and diplomatic achievement in the international effort to protect stratospheric ozone. The success of the Protocol will ultimately depend on how effectively it is implemented, however. At present, effective implementation faces two main challenges that are undermining the transition to ozone-friendly CFC alternatives: A black market for smuggled CFCs in the developed countries, and a lack of financial and technical assistance for the developing countries. This article examines the measures that the United States, the European Union and developing countries have taken to implement the Montreal Protocol and to address these problems. Based on the successes and failures of these initiatives, the article suggests how efforts under the Protocol to protect the ozone layer can be made more effective.
