This amendment recognizes a) that innovation and transition towards environmental alternatives away from fluorinated greenhouse gases must rapidly occur and b) that there is already a substantial amount of fluorinated greenhouse gases that are stocked (e.g. in foams, refrigeration, air-conditioning or in fire protection systems) which could affect our climate since every kg installed can eventually be emitted into the atmosphere.
