Today is .

Forty years ago, countries came together to stop the destruction of the ozone layer under the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer.

That global commitment led to the Montreal Protocol, one of the most successful environmental agreements in history, which phased out nearly all ozone-depleting substances and is expected to help prevent up to 1°C of global warming by the end of the century

As a result, the ozone layer began to heal, and these efforts became a model for global environmental action.

The Ozone treaties continue to show how science can drive global change .

The Mar Menor lagoon, a triangle of warm, shallow water that attracts crowds of tourists to southeastern Spain, has experienced repeated mass die-offs of fish and vegetation blamed on ongoing pollution from farms, mines, and urban areas, turning this natural treasure into a “green soup.”

But there’s hope.

The government of Spain has launched a major restoration project to revive the lagoon — protecting biodiversity, enhancing water quality, and creating a sustainable future for communities that rely on it.

Rainforests are the lungs of our planet, gigantic reservoirs of biodiversity and key in tackling the climate crisis.

Humanity’s existence depends on its survival. Yet, every 6 seconds, we lose an area of tropical rainforest the size of a football pitch.

From alarming biodiversity loss to vanishing medical resources, the consequences would be catastrophic for both the planet and humanity.

There are now more jobs in clean energy than in fossil fuels, as increased investment in clean energy technologies—such as solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and electric vehicles—is driving demand for new workers in every region of the world.

Including clean energy investment in national plans (NDCs) is essential for job creation and future country development.
