flag London-based EIA report reveals smuggling of climate-warming HFCs into Europe from China and Turkey, undermining global pact to phase out these gases.

flag London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) report reveals that climate-warming refrigerant gases, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), are being smuggled into Europe from China and Turkey. flag Despite commitments to reduce HFC use, law enforcement agencies across the European Union struggle to keep track of illicit shipments, as smugglers resort to increasingly sophisticated tactics to evade detection. flag This illegal activity undermines a global pact to phase out HFCs, which do not damage the ozone layer but can be several thousand times more potent than carbon dioxide.
