The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve, in principle, stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan (KIP) for the Plurinational State of Bolivia for the period 2023–2030 to reduce, by 2029, HFC consumption by 15 per cent of the country’s baseline, in the amount of US $367,250, consisting of US $257,000, plus agency support costs of US $33,410, for UNIDO, and US $68,000, plus agency support costs of US $8,840, for UNEP, as reflected in the schedule contained in annex XXXIX to the present report;
- To note:
- That the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia would continue to monitor its HFC consumption to understand the extent to which reported consumption in baseline years was representative of the local market’s needs and to assess what future HFC demand would be, and would provide that analysis when submitting the second tranche of its KIP;
- That, on the basis of the information provided in subparagraph (b)(i) above, the maximum allowable consumption limits for the remaining years of stage I of the KIP, as contained in Appendix 2-A to the future Agreement between the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia and the Executive Committee would be revised, if appropriate, when the Committee considered the second tranche of the KIP;
- To approve the first tranche of stage I of the KIP for the Plurinational State of Bolivia, and the corresponding tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $219,220, consisting of US $153,500, plus agency support costs of US $19,955, for UNIDO, and US $40,500, plus agency support costs of US $5,265, for UNEP; and
- To request the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, UNIDO, UNEP and the Secretariat to finalize the draft Agreement between the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia 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.
