This year’s theme, “From Science to Global Action,” shows how science and global cooperation go hand in hand to protect our planet. You can explore more on the official United Nations Ozone and You
A Brief History
World Ozone Day was established by the United Nations in 1994 to commemorate the signing of the Montreal Protocol in 1987. This international treaty successfully phased out many harmful substances that damage the ozone layer. It remains one of the most effective environmental agreements ever made. You can read more on the UNEP Montreal Protocol page.
Why the Ozone Layer Matters
The ozone layer is a vital part of Earth’s atmosphere. Without it, dangerous UV radiation would reach the surface, leading to:
- Increased cases of skin cancer and cataracts
- Reduced crop productivity
- Damage to ecosystems and marine life
Protecting the ozone layer is therefore essential for both the environment and public health. Explore the science at UNEP’s ozone science section.
