The ozone layer, an invisible shield around the Earth protects all living things from the effects of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. Through the Protocol’s Kigali Amendment, countries are helping to avoid an estimated 0.5°C of warming by 2100.
📢 Great news! Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 has become the latest party to ratify the Kigali Amendment becoming the 171st party to do so 🎉 Phasing down climate-warming HFCs and improving the energy efficiency of cooling technology can avoid up to 1°C by the end of the century. A win-win for everyone!

Authorities in Canada have discovered counterfeit cylinders of R410A refrigerant containing a mixture of R40: methyl chloride or chloromethane, and other HFCs. R40 is extremely flammable and corrosive & should not be used as a replacement for R410A refrigerant.

A recent study suggests that heat pumps can be operated efficiently even in older buildings and that they provide climate-friendly heating without the need for the buildings to be renovated to new construction standards, as previously thought.

The continued practice of trading in substances controlled or banned under the #MontrealProtocol underlines the importance of border controls and customs officers to monitor the movement of international trade.

2025 Antarctic ozone hole among smallest in decades. The ozone hole this year was relatively modest in size, ranking as the 5th smallest since 1992. Scientists attribute this to global action under the #MontrealProtocol 🌎

Exciting progress: Mauritania 🇲🇷 has become the 170th party to ratify the Kigali Amendment 👏 and will commence with the phase down of HFCs and adopting more energy efficient cooling technology ❄️
Only 28 parties remain before we reach full ratification. For the latest update: ozone.unep.org
To mark the 40th anniversary of the Vienna Convention, Ozone Secretariat communications developed a documentary that charts the journey from the hypothesis in the 1970s that CFCs destroy ozone and the discovery of the ozone hole to #ozonelayer protection then and now 🌏

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.
