World Ozone Day 2024 theme
World Ozone Day, observed on September 16th every year, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of the ozone layer and the need to protect it. The day commemorates the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987, a landmark international treaty aimed at phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances.
World Ozone Day Letter to National Ozone Officers 2024
This year’s World Ozone Day (WOD) theme – “Montreal Protocol: fixing the ozone layer and reducing climate change” – reminds us of our responsibility to continue building on the considerable ozone and climate benefits already achieved under the Montreal Protocol through the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances. We must enthusiastically pursue the objectives of the Kigali Amendment to phase down HFC production and consumption. World Ozone Day provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the successes and new developments of the Montreal Protocol and to garner support for your national compliance strategy among the public and key stakeholder groups.
With the COVID-19 pandemic now officially over, countries can celebrate WOD more fully and raise awareness about the achievements of the Montreal Protocol with a wider audience. OzonAction is pleased to provide you with the information resources listed in the annex that can be used as part of your national celebrations (all items can be downloaded). Please also refer to the Ozone Secretariat’s WOD website for other related resources.
We would appreciate receiving information or reports about your country’s WOD activities for posting on our website. Kindly send this information to your Montreal Protocol Regional Coordinator or directly to Ms. Jo Chona at [email protected].
It is our sincere hope that the Network and thematic meetings, information and awareness resources, compliance assistance, and project support that OzonAction’s Compliance Assistance Programme (CAP) teams provide are helping you and the members of your National Ozone Unit to deliver your country’s Montreal Protocol compliance strategy and programme more effectively.
Once again, we thank you for your ongoing commitment to maintaining compliance with the Montreal Protocol and for your excellent work in implementing your national strategies and projects. On behalf of the entire OzonAction CAP team, I wish you great success in this year’s WOD celebrations.
