World Ozone Day was first observed in 1995 and was celebrated to raise awareness about the significance of the Ozone layer to the environment. When scientists, back in the 1970s, made a discovery that humanity was making a hole in the Ozone layer, they voiced out their concerns.
Based on it, in 1985, Governments around the world adopted the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and took a decision to save it.
World Ozone Day on September 16 commemorates this achievement and shows that the decisions and actions taken together are the only way to resolve major global crises guided by science.
