The ozone layer protects the Earth from most of the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun. Forty years for efforts to protect the ozone layer: from science – to global actions Climate and environment Forty years ago, states united, adopting the Vienna Convention on the protection of the ozone layer, and agreed on measures to protect people and planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Soon, on September 16, 1987, on the basis of new scientific data, a Montreal protocol was adopted, according to which chlorfto -rounderods began to be gradually excluded from circulation, which allowed the ozone layer to begin to restore. 62 ~ On September 16, 2009, the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol became the first agreements in the history of the UN to receive universal ratification. On the International Ozone Layer Protection Day – September 16 – the UN celebrates this historical achievement and they look at the future with hope. The agreements on the protection of the ozone layer embodied the concept of the transition from science to global actions and remain a strong basis for many years to come. 60 > “This achievement reminds us that when countries take into account scientific warnings,” said the general secretary of the UN Antoniu Gutherris in his messages on the occasion of International Day. ~ 60 > ~ ~ 60 > while “scientists are anxiety again,” he continued, since the world is rapidly approaching the increase in the global temperature by 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre -industrial levels, which is “fraught with catastrophic consequences “. Vienna Convention and Montreal Protocol continue to play a key role in monitoring ozone levels and ultraviolet radiation, as well as monitoring ozone -destructive substances and other chemical compounds, including hydrophytrofillerodes – highly active greenhouse gases, which are used mainly in cooling technologies and are gradually excreted from Appeals in accordance with the Kigali amendment to the protocol. ~ 60 > the head of the UN called on the government to fully ratify and fulfill the Kigali amendment, which obliges to gradually abandon the hydrofluorine. He also noted the need to take into account this obligation in the new national climatic plans of states. According to Guterres, the fulfillment of the Kigali amendment will reduce the temperature increase by 0.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, and in & nbsp; combination with energy -efficient cooling, these achievements & nbsp; you can double. “significant each is significant each The share of the degree. Each action is important, ”the Secretary General said, urging the world community to confirm & nbsp; his obligation to preserve the ozone layer and protect people and the planet for the sake of & nbsp; future generations. 62 >
