Preserving the ozone layer and advancing climate action

On this World Ozone Day (16 September), we not only celebrate the achievements to date but also look to the future for deeper and faster action under the Montreal Protocol. Deeper and faster for the ozone layer but above all, for people, for climate and for the planet. The UNEP Ozone Secretariat has prepared a social media package in six languages, including cards, videos, and suggested messages. The ozone layer is a fragile shield of gas that protects the Earth from the harmful portion of the rays of the sun, thus helping preserve life on the planet.

The International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer promotes awareness and conservation of the Earth's atmosphere.
