The World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) annual Ozone and UV Bulletin indicates that the ozone layer is on track for long-term recovery, coinciding with World Ozone Day. The bulletin highlights the positive impacts of the Montreal Protocol and its Kigali Amendment, which phased out harmful ozone-depleting substances. UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the need for continued global efforts, particularly in reducing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), to further climate mitigation. If current policies persist, the ozone layer could return to 1980 levels by 2066 over Antarctica, 2045 over the Arctic, and 2040 for the rest of the world. WMO also stresses the importance of ongoing monitoring through its Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Programme to understand factors influencing ozone recovery. Additionally, the bulletin discusses the effects of recent natural events on the Antarctic ozone hole, underscoring the necessity for continued research.
