Dear Student ,
Please refer the given statement below,

As per Saturday’s agreement in Kigali, all countries are in one of three groups with different timelines to go
about these reductions. The richest countries, including the U.S. and those in the European Union, will freeze
the production and consumption of HFCs by 2018, reducing them to about 15 per cent of 2012 levels by 2036.
China, Brazil and all of Africa, will freeze HFC use by 2024, cutting it to 20 percent of 2021 levels by 2045.

India is part of a group that will only be freezing HFC use by 2028 and reducing it to about 15 per cent of 2025 levels by 2047.

Thanks and Regards
