Every year on September 16 to commemorate the signing of the Montreal Protocol, International Ozone Day is observed. The Montreal Protocol was a concerted international effort to phase out ozone-depleting compounds while safeguarding human health, economies, and ecosystems. It began as a global accord to conserve the ozone layer.
The Montreal Protocol’s main goal is to safeguard the ozone layer by adopting steps to reduce worldwide consumption and production of compounds that damage the ozone layer, with the ultimate goal of eliminating these substances in light of new scientific and technological findings. This day serves as a reminder of the ozone layer’s deterioration.
