The ozone layer absorbs the bulk of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, protecting living organisms.
In the 1970s, scientists discovered the ozone layer was depleting due to harmful chemicals like HCFCs and CFCs.
In 1987, nations united to sign the Montreal Protocol, limiting the use of ozone-depleting chemicals.
Thanks to global efforts, the ozone layer is on a path to recovery, but the journey continues.
Preserving the ozone layer reduces greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the link between ozone preservation and climate action.

The mission continues to ensure a safe atmosphere for future generations.
