About

Final report
Summary report 21–24 May 2021
All coverage
The COVID-19 pandemic has left many developing countries economically vulnerable. Many of these countries are beneficiaries of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol and, without its timely replenishment, their continued efforts to restore the ozone layer, mitigate climate change, and protect the environment are at risk.
Thus, by its decision XXXII/2, the Thirty-second Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer authorized the Secretariat to organize an extraordinary meeting of the parties in 2021 to enable parties to take a decision on the replenishment of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol for the triennium 2021–2023.
The Fourth Extraordinary Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (ExMOP-4) will convene virtually on 21 May 2021. Parties will consider a draft decision to facilitate payment of national contributions to the Multilateral Fund. This decision would allow those parties that wish to do so to make contributions prior to the 33rd Meeting of the Parties (MOP-33), during which a decision on the 2021-2023 replenishment will be taken.
Following ExMOP-4, the 43rd meeting of the Open-ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (OEWG-43) will convene the first part of its session virtually. On 22 and 24 May, parties will consider guidance to the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel on further work on its replenishment report, originally issued in May 2020. Parties will discuss whether this report needs to be updated or supplemented to support the replenishment negotiations at the October 2021 Meeting of the Parties.
Sessions will take place from 2:00 – 4:00 pm and from 4:30 – 6:30 pm (Nairobi time (UTC+3).
The Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB) will provide daily web updates on these sessions and a summary and analysis following the closure of the first part of OEWG-43. The summary report will be available on this site on Wednesday, 26 May 2021.
