The Montreal Protocol was signed on September 16, 1987. It was started as an initiative to protect the ozone layer. It is an international treaty that will take initiatives to reduce the production of chemicals or substances that can affect the ozone layer. The ozone depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons are being reduced. Ozone layer helps in the absorption of UV radiation that are the cause of diseases like skin cancer, cataracts etc. The protocol is addressing the environmental issues that can help us protect the plants. It has a huge impact on the depletion of the ozone layer and the changes in the climates.
