There are different proposals by developed and developing country parties and groups for phase down in A5 parties. As the expectations of a deal in the current negotiations in Kigali increase, it is critical  to start thinking about an operational strategy under different proposed baselines and freeze years. The presentation will share CEEW's updated analysis on HFC consumption growth across sectors in India, what it means for a baseline in CO2-eq terms, and what learnings can be derived for an operational strategy for a phase down within different baselines and freeze scenarios.
