More in Montreal

For more than two decades, the 1987 Montreal Protocol has served as a shining example of how to get things done on the environment in the international arena. By banding countries together to preserve Earth’s shield against harmful ultraviolet rays, the agreement has already eliminated many ozone-depleting substances and should see off most of the rest by 2030. And in doing so, it has done more to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions than the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which was signed expressly for that purpose. (Editorial)

Addressing the challenge of global climate mitigation

Climate change has been widely recognized as a political priority by the international community. Views differ widely, however, about the right way to shape an international response. Closely related is the question of the right institutions to drive international climate cooperation.

Antarctic ozone hole on the road to recovery

London: Researchers in Australia have claimed that the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica is on the road to recovery, 22 years after the Montreal Protocol to ban chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and related ozone-destroying chemicals came into force.

The team is the first to detect a recovery in baseline average springtime ozone levels in the region.

Ozone hole has dried Australia, says study

Shift in rainfall patterns across Southern Hemisphere The Antarctic ozone hole is about one-third to blame for Australia's recent series of droughts, say scientists. Writing in the journal Science, they conclude that the hole has shifted wind and rainfall patterns right across the Southern Hemisphere, even the tropics. Their climate models suggest the effect has been notably strong over Austr
