Parties to the Montreal Protocol

Parties to the Montreal Protocol are the countries that have signed and agreed to the treaty aimed at protecting the ozone layer. The protocol was established in 1987 to phase out substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that damage the ozone. These Parties commit to reducing and ultimately eliminating the use of ozone-depleting substances through international cooperation, monitoring, and reporting. Their collective efforts help prevent harmful UV radiation from reaching the Earth, thereby safeguarding human health and the environment. The Montreal Protocol is considered successful, with nearly all countries participating, demonstrating global commitment to environmental protection.
