World Refrigeration Day celebrates the people and technologies responsible for creating and maintaining the world we live in, a world dependent upon temperature-controlled environments. Celebrated annually on June 26, World Refrigeration Day is supported globally by industry, professional groups, scientific and engineering associations, as well as by governments and individuals.
This year’s theme focuses on the future of cooling technology, the industry and technicians working within it Continue reading It’s World Refrigeration Day!
All teachers get your new free online resources, including an Earth Simulator game to help educate and inspire future young scientists and climate champions to Reset Earth and protect the ozone layer and the environment.
“By giving young people innovative learning tools, we hope to inspire them to become the future scientists and policy-makers championing environmental protection,” said Meg Seki, Executive Secretary of the Ozone Secretariat.

The United Nations report: Ozone layer recovery on track.Â
A new report from the U.N., which includes key scientific contributions from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and international partners, confirms that the recovery of Earth’s protective ozone layer is on track, and that the Montreal Protocol, the international treaty that guides the phase-out of ozone-destroying chemicals, has had the additional benefit of slowing global warming.

NAIROBI, 9 January 2023 – The ozone layer is on track to recover within four decades, with the global phaseout of ozone-depleting chemicals already benefitting efforts to mitigate climate change. This is the conclusion of a UN-backed panel of experts, presented today at the American Meteorological Society’s 103rd annual meeting. Examining novel technologies such as geoengineering for the first time, the panel warns of unintended impacts on the ozone layer. Read full article
Depletion of the ozone layer has been steadily improving in the wake of the 1989 Montreal Protocol, a global agreement to protect the Earth’s ozone layer by phasing out chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) initially used as solvents and refrigerants.
The progress is slow, according to the new United Nations report presented on Continue reading Earth’s ozone layer on course to mend within decades, UN report finds
Throughout 2022, more parties have ratified the Kigali Amendment in their commitment to phase-down HFCs. Let’s give them a hand for their hard work đź‘Ź
