The Montreal Protocol (MP) is the 1987 international treaty governing the protection of stratospheric ozone.<ref>http://www.ciesin.org/TG/PI/POLICY/montpro.html</ref> It was signed in January 1989 by most industrialized nations to substantially reduce the use of [[chlorofluorocarbon]]s (CFCs).
    
The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer and its amendments control the phaseout of [[ODS]] production and use. Under the MP, several international organizations report on the science of ozone depletion, implement projects to help move away from ODS, and provide a forum for policy discussions. In addition, the Multilateral Fund provides resources to developing nations to promote the transition to ozone-safe technologies.

The original document called for a 50-percent reduction in CFC use by 1992 relative to 1986 levels. The subsequent London Agreement called for a complete elimination of CFC use by 2000. The [[Copenhagen Agreement]], which called for a complete phaseout by January 1, 1996, was implemented by the U.S. [[Environmental Protection Agency]].
