Guyana and the fight to protect the Ozone Layer
In the face of overwhelming evidence, Governments across the world have not only acknowledged that climate change is a serious threat to mankind’s very existence, but they have also launched several programmes towards reversing its damaging effects.
One of the ways in which world leaders sought to address this worrying environmental issue is by signing on to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that deplete the Ozone Layer and also the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer.
The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer is a landmark international agreement designed to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. The treaty was originally signed in 1987 and substantially amended in 1990 and 1992. The Protocol stipulates that the production and consumption of compounds that deplete ozone in the stratosphere are to be phased out by 2000 (2005 for methyl chloroform).
