INTRODUCTION
9.1. Protection of the atmosphere is a
broad and multidimensional endeavour involving various sectors of economic
activity. The options and measures described in the present chapter are
recommended for consideration and, as appropriate, implementation by Governments
and other bodies in their efforts to protect the atmosphere.
9.2. It is recognized that many of the
issues discussed in this chapter are also addressed in such international
agreements as the 1985 Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer,
the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer as
amended, the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and
other international, including regional, instruments. In the case of activities
covered by such agreements, it is understood that the recommendations contained
in this chapter do not oblige any Government to take measures which exceed the
provisions of these legal instruments. However, within the framework of this
chapter, Governments are free to carry out additional measures which are
consistent with those legal instruments.
