Protecting the sky that protects us all.

Healing the Shield

Every September 16, the world observes the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, marking the anniversary of the 1987 Montreal Protocol—the global agreement to phase out ozone-depleting substances. The ozone layer is Earth’s protective shield, absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation and enabling life to flourish.

In 2025, the story is one of hope. Thanks to global cooperation, the ozone layer is slowly healing, with scientists projecting full recovery later this century. But the work isn’t over: climate change, pollution, and unsustainable industry still threaten the delicate balance of Earth’s atmosphere. This day reminds us that international unity can solve global challenges—and that protecting our skies is protecting our future.
