Summary

The Montreal Protocol is working. There is clear evidence of a decrease in the atmospheric burden of ozone-depleting substances in the lower atmosphere and in the stratosphere; some early signs of the expected stratospheric ozone recovery are also evident. However, failure to continue to comply with the Montreal Protocol would delay, or could even prevent, recovery of the ozone layer. Furthermore, if the Parties were to eliminate all emissions of ozone-depleting substances soon after 2006, it would advance by about 15 years (from around 2050 to 2035) the global ozone layer recovery to pre-1980 levels (often used as a benchmark for ozone recovery).
