Fourteen TV producers and directors from across the Asia-Pacific region have explored the media’s role in spreading awareness about the links between ozone depletion and climate change.
From February 27-29, 2012, they took part in a three-day Asia-Pacific Media Workshop on The Linkages between Ozone Depletion and Climate Change organized by the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD) with support from the OzonAction Programme of the United Nations Environment Programme – Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (UNEP-ROAP).
AIBD and UNEP organized the workshop to deepen the media’s understanding of the urgency in reducing the production and consumption of the chemicals used in refrigeration and air-conditioning which are potent greenhouse gases. Asian countries are the main producers and consumers of HCFCs, and governments have agreed to phase them out by 2030, and the media has a role in influencing the Asian industry to shift to non-HCFC technologies.
