The environmental association Zero made an appeal to the Government to commit to the progressive reduction of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), gases widely used in refrigeration. The organization highlighted the high global warming potential of these gases, emphasizing the need for a transition to less harmful alternatives for the environment. The request was directed to the executive on the day the association made the statement, evidencing the urgency of more ambitious public policies in the area of air conditioning and refrigeration. This position is part of the broader context of the fight against climate change, where the elimination of substances with high impact on the greenhouse effect constitutes an environmental priority.
