For decades, the depletion of the ozone layer was one of the most alarming environmental crises threatening our planet.
Scientists warned of increased UV radiation, rising skin cancer rates, and widespread ecological harm.
However, something remarkable has happened—thanks to global cooperation and decisive action, the ozone layer is steadily healing.
The Montreal Protocol, often hailed as one of the most successful environmental agreements in history, has played a pivotal role in this recovery.
By phasing out harmful chemicals like CFCs, countries worldwide have helped reverse the damage, and experts now predict that the ozone layer could fully recover in the coming decades.
But the story doesn’t end there. Challenges remain, from the unintended impact of volcanic eruptions to new environmental concerns tied to space exploration.
What does the future hold for this vital shield protecting life on Earth?
