The International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer is celebrated on September 16th every year. The ozone layer protects the Earth from harmful sun rays. Many chemicals damage the ozone layer. This year’s theme is “Montreal Protocol: Advancing Climate Actions.”
In 1995, the UN General Assembly declared September 16th as International Ozone Day. This day marks the signing of the Montreal Protocol on September 16, 1987. The Montreal Protocol helps reduce harmful chemicals that damage the ozone layer.
