Sustainable Development and a Green Future: Strategies and Policies for Ozone Layer Protection

The ozone layer, Earth's protective shield against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, plays a vital role in maintaining life and the health of planetary ecosystems. However, in past decades, the emission of human-made chemical compounds, especially chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, has led to significant depletion of this layer. This article comprehensively examines the relationship between sustainable development, the green economy, and ozone layer protection. We analyze the progress made under the Montreal Protocol and its amendments, evaluating successful strategies for the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Furthermore, we explore the role of technological innovations, government policies, private sector involvement, and public awareness in ensuring the full recovery of the ozone layer and achieving a sustainable green future. The ultimate goal is to provide a roadmap for accelerating the synergy between sustainable development goals and ozone protection for future generations.
