Ozone is an efficient absorber of ultraviolet radiation and help to protect the biosphere. Ozone depletion is a major environmental problem which is harmful to the flora and fauna on earth.

This is the joint campaign by: Alok Dhakal (Regional ambassador for Nepal, Eco- generation), Meena Pandey (Regional ambassador for Nepal, Eco- generation), Shobha Pokhrel (Member, Eco- generation) and Dolma Diki Sherpa (Member, Eco- generation) I will let you know all brief about campaign after complition of campaign. You can see update at: About International day for preservation of ozone layer History: On 22 March 1985, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer was adopted and signed by 28 countries. The Montreal Protocol was signed on 16 September, 1987 on substances that deplete the Ozone Layer. In 1994, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 16 September the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. Basically, it is an international treaty planned to protect the ozone layer by reducing the production of substances supposed to be responsible for ozone layer depletion. The Montreal Protocol was implemented on 1 January, 1989. The condition now is improving after that protocol signed. Below i have attched a infographics for reference.
