Montreal Protocol

UNIDO: assist in complying with their international obligations, mainly by phasing out their production and consumption of Ozone depleting substances (ODS)

Identification, acquisition and application of the state-of-the art non ODS production technologies covering industries such as: aerosol, fumigants, refrigerants, tobacco-fluffing, foam, solvents and halon

ODS: chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbontetrachloride (CTC), methyl chloroform (TCA), methyl bromide, hydrochlorofluoro-carbons (HCFCs) and their bromide equivalents (HBFCs), and Bromochloromethane (BCM)

UNIDO contributed to the elimination of 22,000 ozone-depleting potential (ODP) tones of annual ODS consumption; approx. 1,250 industrial firms employing some 145,000 workers; UNIDO trained more than 150,000 farmers in the use of non-chemical and chemical alternatives in the context of phasing out methyl bromide in fumigation

Promotion of liquid carbon dioxide (LCD) blowing technologies as the most advanced alternative solution for flexible polyurethane (PU) foam.

Stockholm Convention – POPs

Complying with their international obligations to reduce POP use and emissions from industry including POPs developed and used intentionally (pesticides, insecticides, others)

POPs: Aldrin, Chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene, PCBs, dioxins and furans (“12 dirties”)

UNIDO helps in: Development of the POPs National Implementation Plan (countries who signed Stockholm Convention)

Introduce best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) with the encouragement of technical transfer; demonstration projects

www.unido.org

Water management

UNIDO services

- Sustainable usage of water resources (environmental standards)

- Artisanal gold mining

- Transboundary projects

- Industrial fisheries Transfer of best available EST (environmentally sustainable

technologies) to prevent discharges of industrial effluents into international waters (rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal areas)

The Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technology (TEST) Programme in the Danube River Basin,Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, (17 enterprises selected how to use EST, 90 trainees)

www.unido.org

Cleaner Production Programme

Objectives: Promote environmentally sound investment and business cooperation projects, and facilitate development, and demonstrate best practices and transfer of EST by supporting local enterprises

Cleaner production projects/centres ongoing and under consideration in CEE and NIS region: Armenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg), Serbia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan

EST Transfer examples in the CP Programme: The North Western International Cleaner Production and Environmental Management Center in St. Petersburg, Russia assisted the pulp and paper sector
