Bangladesh Ministry of the Environment took the first steps for developing the Stage 2 strategy for HCFC phase-out. This assumes more importance because of the recently concluded Kigali amendment. The UNDP led Stage 2 with the cooperating Agency UNEP will assist the country to not only meet their 2020 and 2025 control measures but also strategize how to address HFC phase down as well.
For developing the non-investment component for Stage 2 the first stakeholder workshop was organized on 1 October 2016 in Dhaka. It was attended by most of the key stakeholders like Central Procurement Technical Unit, Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institute (BSTI), BRAMA, Bangladesh Korea Technical Institute, Bangladesh Frozen Food Exporters Association in addition to representatives of large and small industries, equipment importers Association, and various units of the Ministry of Environment. UNDP also participated in the workshop.
