Kigali Climate Deal

India on Saturday was among the 197 nations to sign a binding agreement in Rwanda's capital Kigali to phase out the use of hydrofluorocarbon or (HFC) gases, primarily found in air conditioners. The deal comes two weeks after India ratified the Paris agreement on climate change.

Environment NGOs from both India and abroad today welcomed the historic Kigali Agreement to phase down "super greenhouse gases" known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), saying it reflects the emerging reality of the world.
