Important Days

On September 16, 2024, the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer was observed globally. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the critical role of the ozone layer in protecting life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The ozone layer, a thin shield in the Earth's stratosphere, absorbs the majority of the Sun’s dangerous UV rays. The observance highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to reduce substances that deplete the ozone layer and encourages continued global cooperation to ensure its preservation. Activities and educational events are held to inform the public about the significance of this environmental issue.


      The day emphasizes the success of the Montreal Protocol in reducing ozone-depleting substances.

      Awareness campaigns focus on the health impacts of increased UV radiation due to ozone layer depletion.
