Discovery · The Life Scientific: Lucy Carpenter · 11 May 2026 podcast

So there is a longer-term resilience that has to happen, I think, in science, definitely.

Initially, very scary, I would say.

You know, our job as co-chairs and as a scientist is to assess the scientific information that's relevant to the protocol and present it the best we can.

But there's all sorts of other things going on, the diplomacy, the politics.

But it's fascinating, absolutely fascinating.

So I am very much enjoying the journey.

Well, first of all, the scientific assessments are made every four years.

The latest one will be this year.

So we're in that phase of the assessment.

So I presented the major results that will come out of that, along with the issue that's probably the hottest issue right now for the Montreal Protocol, or one of the hottest issues, and this is emissions of a gas called HFC-23, which is fluoriform, which is a very potent greenhouse gas and has been increasing in the atmosphere for some time.

I think they are responsive.

It's a different matter as to what their national priorities are and how they interact with that science.

So, I mean, I'm a complete novice in all of this and learning.

There are other people who seasoned goers to the Montreal meetings who see the way the diplomats are talking and understand what it is that's behind the scenes.

So there are national priorities that underlie these responses, for sure.

But some of them have an enormous appreciation and understanding of the science, which is great.

HFC 23, which I just mentioned, is a hot topic.

We are yet to see action on that one.

But we continue to be asked in the scientific assessment panel to bring information to them.

And so, you know, I'm hopeful that in the end we will be able to give them precise enough information to make an action.
