The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve, in principle, stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for Kyrgyzstan for the period 2023–2029 to reduce, by 2029, HFC consumption by 10 per cent of the country’s baseline, in the amount of US $214,700, consisting of US $130,000, plus agency support costs of US $16,900, for UNDP and US $60,000, plus agency support costs of US $7,800, for UNEP, as reflected in the schedule contained in annex XLIX to the present report;
- To note that the schedule of tranches contained in the annex referred to in subparagraph (a) above had been approved on an exceptional basis as the HFC consumption in the servicing sector in Kyrgyzstan in the baseline years was below 360 metric tonnes and the country had already completed its HCFC phase-out management plan;
- To note also that the next verification report to be submitted under the country’s KIP would include verification of HFC and HCFC consumption, and that, in the unlikely event of noncompliance by the Government with its HCFC Agreement with the Executive Committee, relevant actions to be taken would be considered by the Executive Committee;
- To approve the first tranche of stage I of the KIP for Kyrgyzstan, and the corresponding tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $91,530, consisting of US $51,000, plus agency support costs of US $6,630, for UNDP and US $30,000, plus agency support costs of US $3,900, for UNEP; and
- To request the Government of Kyrgyzstan, UNDP, UNEP and the Secretariat to finalize the draft Agreement between the Government of Kyrgyzstan and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HFCs, including the information contained in the annex referred to in subparagraph (a) above, and to submit it to a future meeting once the KIP Agreement template had been approved by the Executive Committee.
