Ozone Layer

The healing of the ozone layer is a powerful reminder that we can protect our planet if we act together.

After scientists discovered that chemicals called „CFCs“ had caused a large hole in the Earth’s ozone layer, countries agreed to phase out 99% of ozone-depleting chemicals in the 1987 Montreal Protocol.

As a result, the ozone layer has been healing consistently for the past decades and is on track to fully recover in our lifetime.
