International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
On this day, the world comes together to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the ozone layer, which shields the Earth from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The ozone layer plays a critical role in preserving life on our planet by reducing the amount of UV radiation that reaches the surface.
The Montreal Protocol
📅 16 September 🌍
The Montreal Protocol, an international treaty signed in 1987, has been key in phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), leading to significant recovery of the ozone layer. This day reminds us of the ongoing commitment needed to safeguard the atmosphere for future generations.
Let’s continue working toward reducing pollutants, adopting eco-friendly technologies, and protecting our planet’s natural shields. Together, we can secure a brighter and healthier future for all.
