The ozone hole was real. The danger was global.

World leaders acted together, and the ozone layer is healing.

This World Ozone Day, we celebrate what science and cooperation can achieve. 🌍

40 years ago the world agreed the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. The Montreal Protocol followed.

From science to global action, this is multilateralism at its best.

On #WorldOzoneDay we celebrate how this work has protected our environment & health

In 1985, the Vienna Convention set the stage for fixing the ozone hole.

It showed the power of countries coming together around science. A model we still need today.

Many congratulations and thank you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 for becoming the 166th and latest party to ratify the Kigali Amendment. Phasing down climate warming HFCs combined with improving energy efficiencies in the cooling sector can avoid significant further warming 🌿

On this #WorldOzoneDay we also celebrate the science that in the 1970s warned of a looming environmental crisis and the ozone treaties that continue to protect the ozone layer & environment to this day 🌿 Science it not cheap, but its value is beyond measure #MontrealProtocol #Science #GlobalAction

Big discoveries begin with small measurements.

In Antarctica, scientists measured the ozone hole, and changed the world.

In an increasingly hot world, every fraction of avoided warming is a huge win and one we are proud to celebrate on #WorldOzoneDay. By phasing out nearly all ODSs, the #MontrealProtocol has helped avoid global warming of approximately 0.5-1 °C by mid-century 🌿 bit.ly/4paCiRq

Science is expensive.
But what it gives back to society is priceless.

Without long-term funding, there would be no monitoring, no discovery of the ozone hole and no safer future.
