Kigali Climate Change Conference

The Kigali Climate Change Conference, held in Kigali, Rwanda, was a major international meeting where countries discussed ways to fight climate change. The most significant outcome was the agreement to phase out hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), chemicals used in air conditioning and refrigeration that contribute to global warming. This agreement, known as the Kigali Amendment, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to slow climate change and protect the environment. Countries committed to gradually eliminate HFCs, supporting a shift to more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives. The conference emphasized global cooperation to address urgent climate challenges.
