Montreal Accord

The Montreal Protocol is an international agreement established in 1987 to protect the Earth's ozone layer by phasing out the production and use of substances known to damage it, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It aims to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals to prevent harm caused by increased ultraviolet radiation. The protocol has been successful, with most countries worldwide collaborating to regulate and eliminate these substances, leading to significant recovery of the ozone layer and contributing to global environmental and health improvements.
