In a new report, a UN-backed scientific panel confirmed that the phase out of nearly 99 percent of banned ozone-depleting substances has succeeded in safeguarding the ozone layer, leading to notable recovery of the ozone layer in the upper stratosphere and decreased human exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.”

STORYLINE
A UN-backed panel of experts concluded that the ozone layer recovery is on track, helping avoid global warming.
United Nations Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric today (09 Jan) told journalists in New York that according to a report published every four years on the progress of the Montreal Protocol, the UN-backed scientific panel confirmed, “the phase out of nearly 99 percent of banned ozone-depleting substances has succeeded in safeguarding the ozone layer, leading to notable recovery of the ozone layer in the upper stratosphere and decreased human exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.”
The Spokesperson also noted that the impact of the Montreal Protocol – the international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer which entered into force in 1989 – cannot be overstressed.
He also mentioned, “The panel also examined new technologies such as geoengineering for the first time and warned of the unintended impacts on the ozone layer caused by methods like Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI).”
SAI has been proposed as a potential method to reduce climate warming by increasing sunlight reflection. Yet the panel cautions that unintended consequences of SAI could also affect stratospheric temperatures, circulation and ozone production and destruction rates and transport.
