What Measures Have Been Taken to Address Ozone Depletion?
To combat ozone depletion, the international community adopted the Montreal Protocol in 1987. This treaty aimed to phase out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. The protocol has been successful in reducing the levels of these substances in the atmosphere, leading to signs of recovery in the ozone layer.
