Abstract
The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change are directed to prevention of anthropogenic changes of environment. The Montreal Protocol and Kyoto Protocol complement these conventions and contain demands to district specific pollutant emissions. Effective policy is impossible without communications with national and international stakeholders. Besides that the communications between different conventions and protocols are essential for better process understanding. There were the attempts to put communications between these conventions in recent years, but mostly they have evolved in parallel. The aim of the paper is a consideration of need and opportunity of inter-protocol communications. This requires the identification of similarities and differences between conventions and its protocols. Such analysis allows understanding why the interaction between protocols was still impossible to establish. The paper methodology is based and limited by analysis of international conventions and a protocol, reports of international organizations, scientific publication, etc. and includes the results of research in elucidating the mechanism of “climate change-ozone depletion” interaction. Analysis of reports of international organization, such as WMO, UNEP, UNDP and IPCC, shows that they comprise information about “ozone depletion-climate change” interaction, but not include often the information about the influence of physical, chemical and meteorological processes on this interaction. Studies have shown that over the past few years the role of the ozone layer in the regional climate became clearer confirming the need for inter-protocol communications and new opportunity of such communications.
