Recital 8

(8) To ensure coherence with the obligations under the Protocol, global warming potential of HFCs should be calculated in terms of the 100-year global warming potential of one kilogram of a gas relative to that of one kilogram of CO2, based on the Fourth Assessment Report adopted by the IPCC. For other fluorinated greenhouse gases, the Sixth IPCC Assessment Report should be used. Considering the importance of rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to keep the target under the Paris Agreement of global warming of 1,5 °C within reach, the 20-year global warming potential of greenhouse gases is becoming increasingly relevant. In that respect, where available, the 20-year global warming potential should be provided to better inform about the climate impacts of the substances covered by this Regulation. The Commission should raise awareness of the 20-year global warming potential of fluorinated greenhouse gases.
