"A fascinating and an inspiring exposition of international action for mitigating a serious global problem... Required reading" --- Dr. R. K. Pachauri, Chairman, IPCC

In the 1970s the world became aware of a huge danger: the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer by CFCs escaping into the atmosphere and the damage this could do to human health and the food chain. By 1987 the UN had succeeded in coordinating an international treaty to phase out emissions, which over the following 15 years has been implemented. Hailed as an outstanding success, it needed the participation of all the parties: governments, industry, scientists, campaigners, NGOs and the media - and it is a model for future treaties.

This volume provides the authoritative and comprehensive history, from the earliest warning signs to the present. It is an invaluable record and a necessary reference for future negotiations and a wide range of scholars, students and professionals.
