What is the theme of World Ozone Day 2024?

Every year, World Ozone Day is celebrated with a unique theme that emphasizes global cooperation. The theme for 2024 is “Montreal Protocol: Keeping us, our food, and vaccines cool.” This theme highlights how phasing out ozone-depleting substances has also helped protect the climate and enabled innovations in cooling technology. It connects the importance of the ozone layer to everyday human life—preserving food, medicines, and vaccines while safeguarding the planet. The theme also reminds us that the Montreal Protocol is not just about protecting the ozone, but also about reducing climate-warming gases, thereby serving humanity in multiple ways.
