Ozone Day: The International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer or World Ozone Day is celebrated every year on September 16 to highlight the importance of the ozone layer and raise awareness among the people about the harmful effects of ozone depletion. The day acts as a reminder about the need to protect the ozone. It also brings focus towards finding more efficient measures for the same. There are several reports that claim that the already impacted ozone layer will continue its effect for around 5 to 10 decades. This can worsen the situation in the coming days for human beings. 

History of World Ozone Day 

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed September 16 as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer in 1994. This was done to commemorate the date of the signing of the 'Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer' by the governments of 46 nations around the world in 1987. It was also known as the "Montreal Protocol". 

SIGNIFICANCE

The day aims to create awareness about the importance and need of the Ozone layer which is the single protection on Earth against UV rays coming out from the sun. The UN Environment Programme also aims to bring awareness about the importance of getting rid of the substances that damage the ozone layer. It also calls for taking time-targeted actions to protect Earth’s protective shield.
