The Fourth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol: Report and Reflection
- London School of Economics and Political Science (United Kingdom)
Between 23 and 25 November 1992, representatives from more than 100 states gathered in Copenhagen for the Fourth Meeting of the parties to the Montreal Protocol in Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The Copenhagen gathering was significant not only because the international community had to respond to the ongoing deterioration of the Earth`s protective layer of stratospheric ozone, but also because it was one of the first major international environmental conferences to be held after the June 1992 UNCED in Rio de Janeiro. The results of the fourth meeting, discussed in this paper, might therefore suggest the extent to which UNCED cemented the international community`s commitment to the goal of sustainable development.
