Israel's 85% HFC Phase-Down Enters into Force in January 2027

Israel's binding HFC phase-down under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol will enter into force on 3 January 2027, following the country's ratification on 5 October 2026.

As a non-Article 5 party to the Amendment, Israel is required to reduce its HFC consumption by 85% by 2036, measured against the average annual HFC consumption recorded between 2011 and 2013.

The complete list of countries that have accepted, ratified, or approved the Kigali Amendment is maintained in the United Nations Treaty Collection. The IIR has also compiled a summary sheet on the Kigali Amendment, available through FRIDOC.
