Islamic Republic of Iran, with a total population of approximately 82 million inhabitants is a member to Montreal Protocol and has ratified all the amendments to this Protocol.

The XIX Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, in September 2007, through its Decision XIX/6, adopted an accelerated phase out schedule for HCFCs. The first control was the freeze on production and consumption of HCFCs from 01 January 2013 at the baseline level (average of 2009 and 2010 consumption levels). The other control steps were reduction of consumption of 10% by 2015, reduction of 35% by 2020, reduction of 67.5% by 2025, and reduction of 97.5% by 2030 with an allowance of 2.5% of baseline (annual equivalent) for the period 2030 – 2040 and complete phase out by 2040. Iran is a Party to the Montreal Protocol and must comply with the above targets.

At the 63rd Meeting of the Executive Committee in April 2011, the Iran HCFC Phaseout Management Plan (HPMP) Stage I was approved at a total funding amount of $10,393, 388; UNDP was designated as the lead implementing agency with UNIDO, UNEP and Germany (GIZ) to serve as the cooperating agencies.

Through the HPMP, Iran committed itself to HCFC freeze in 2013 and 10% reduction in 2015 (Stage I targets). UNDP was allocated $4,565,746 to assist the Government in implementing investment projects under UNDP component and in project management and monitoring. The project is undergoing last stages of completion.

At the 77th Meeting of the Executive Committee, in November-December 2016, HPMP stage II of Iran was approved with UNDP as the lead implementing agency, and UNIDO, UNEP, Italy and Germany (GIZ) as the cooperating agencies. Total funding approval was $11,288,177 with UNDP share being $4,905,361; a first tranche of $1,298,170 was approved for UNDP through a multi-year Performance-based Agreement between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Executive Committee.

The project will assist Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as represented by the National Ozone Unit (NOU), in reducing the country’s HCFC consumption to 247.33 ODP Tonnes in 2020 and 95.13 ODP Tonnes in 2023.
