From science to global action.

 



September 16th marks the anniversary of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and celebrates the progress in protecting the ozone layer and moves to phase out ozone depleting chemicals which are also potent greenhouse gases.


“The Montreal Protocol is both an inspirational example of how humanity is capable of cooperating to address a global challenge and a key instrument for tackling today’s climate crisis,” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.


The latest Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion shows that the ozone layer in parts of the stratosphere has recovered at a rate of 1-3% per decade since 2000. At projected rates, Northern Hemisphere and mid-latitude ozone is scheduled to heal completely by the 2030s followed by the Southern Hemisphere in the 2050s and polar regions by 2060. The assessment was conducted under the sponsorship of WMO and UN Environment. The WMO’s Global Atmosphere Watch Programme, which embraces about 100 countries, provides information on the ozone layer to inform decision-makers and support environmental policy. For the past 30 years, GAW has coordinated high-quality atmospheric composition observations across local to global scales to drive high-quality science and promoting a new generation of research-enabled products and services.
