Key Points
- The Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer.
- It was agreed upon on September 16, 1987, and came into force on January 1, 1989.
- The treaty aims to phase out the production and consumption of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion.
- It is considered one of the most successful environmental agreements to date, with widespread global participation and significant positive impact on the ozone layer.
Additional Information
- The Kyoto Protocol focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, not specifically on ozone depletion.
- The Paris Agreement aims to address climate change by limiting global warming, not specifically targeting ozone-depleting substances.
- The Geneva Convention comprises treaties and protocols for humanitarian treatment in war, unrelated to environmental issues.
- The Montreal Protocol has been amended several times to include new scientific knowledge and to adjust the phase-out schedules for ozone-depleting substances.
- It has significantly contributed to the recovery of the ozone layer, and projections suggest that the ozone layer will return to pre-1980 levels by the middle of the 21st century.
