The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve, in principle, stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for Chile for the period 2023–2030 to reduce, by 2029, HFC consumption by 10 per cent of the country’s baseline, in the amount of US $1,868,171, consisting of US $1,477,711, plus agency support costs of US $103,440, for UNDP and US $254,000, plus agency support costs of US $33,020, for UNEP, as reflected in the schedule contained in annex XLI to the present report;
- To note that the implementation of stage I of the KIP would result in the reduction of 308.68 metric tonnes or 847,086 carbon dioxide-equivalent tonnes of HFCs;
- To note also:
- That the Government of Chile would establish its starting point for sustained aggregate reductions in HFC consumption on the basis of guidance provided by the Executive Committee;
- That, once the cost guidelines for HFC phase-down had been agreed by the Executive Committee, the reductions from the country’s remaining HFC consumption eligible for funding would be determined according to those guidelines;
- That the reductions from the country’s remaining HFC consumption eligible for funding referred to in subparagraphs (b) and (c)(ii) above would be deducted from the starting point referred to in subparagraph (c)(i) above;
