Have you heard of the Montreal Protocol? This groundbreaking 1987 treaty established a global agreement to phase out the production and consumption of harmful chemicals depleting the ozone layer. The ozone layer shields the planet from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing critical protection for both humans and the environment. Without it, we would be at heightened risk of skin cancer, weakened immune systems, stunted plant growth, accelerated climate change, and more. The Montreal Protocol was one of the first treaties in United Nations (UN) history to achieve universal participation by every country in the world. Because of it, scientists say we can expect to see an almost full recovery of the ozone layer by the middle of the century! On this International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, we celebrate the Montreal Protocol and its success in safeguarding our planet. It serves as a reminder that by taking global action to address environmental challenges, we can make a significant impact. Visit the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s website to learn more about the ozone layer, the Montreal Protocol, and other initiatives to protect our atmosphere! https://lnkd.in/g9VbPgf #InternationalDayforthePreservationoftheOzoneLayer #MontrealProtocol #ozonelayer #climateaction
