Using the example of the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, Peter Bridgewater and his colleagues argue for ending “zombie” environmental-protection conventions ( P. Bridgewater et al. Nature 632 , 500–502; 2024 ). They name the 1987 Montreal Protocol on ozone-depleting substances, arguing that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) could assume its “residual tasks”.
