UNEP Ozone Secretariat

The UNEP Ozone Secretariat is an organization that supports global efforts to protect the Earth's ozone layer, which shields us from harmful ultraviolet rays. It serves as the main hub for international cooperation, coordinating actions, sharing information, and monitoring progress under the Montreal Protocol—a treaty adopted to phase out substances that damage the ozone layer. By facilitating communication among countries and experts, the Secretariat helps ensure effective implementation of policies aimed at restoring the ozone layer and safeguarding environmental and human health.
