World Ozone Day

World Ozone Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1994 and is observed annually on September 16. The main purpose of this day is to raise awareness about ozone layer depletion and to promote solutions for its preservation. Celebrated under the overarching theme “Ozone for Life,” World Ozone Day highlights the critical role of the ozone layer in sustaining life on Earth and emphasizes the importance of protecting it.

What is the Ozone Layer?
The sun is essential for life, but it also emits radiation that can endanger living organisms. The ozone layer is a protective shield located in the Earth's stratosphere that acts as a barrier, safeguarding the planet’s surface from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
