Indirecteffects of ozone depletion on health. As a result of the successful implementation of the Montreal Protocol there will be:
280-340 million fewer cases of skin cancer in people born between 1890 and 2100 in the USA. Approx. 1.6 million fewer deaths due to skin cancer. No such estimates for the rest of the world.

This poster produced by OzonAction will help to keep you on track of key HFC phase-down dates. The pathway to implement the HFC phase down is to reduce dependency on high-GWP alternatives and increase the adoption of low-GWP, energy-efficient technologies as part of the HCFC phase-out process under the Montreal Protocol. Such a “smart approach” can achieve the Montreal Protocol’s objective of eliminating HCFCs while at the same time achieving energy efficiency gains and CO2 emissions reduction — a “climate co-benefit.”

GEO-6 for Business is created by business, for business. The objective is to stimulate business to act towards the challenges expressed in the GEO-6 publication and other integrated environmental assessments. It is hoped to drive private sector towards transformation. It provides a new perspective on how businesses should be done, strengthening global partnerships and shifting the business-as-usual practices to emerging methods that bind practice and policy together toward the achievement of Agenda 2030 and other internationally agreed environmental agreements. It serves to encourage the business sector to adopt, through practice and policy, the best scenario for scaling up sustainability in their operations.
