The Earth’s ozone layer is expected to be repaired within the next 40 years
The size and depth of the ozone hole over Antarctica has been gradually improving since 2000, according to a report by a United Nations panel of experts presented at the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society.
If countries continue with current policies, the ozone layer over most of the world is expected to return to 1980 levels by 2040. However, the recovery of the ozone layer over the polar regions is expected to take longer, 2045 in the Arctic and 2066 in the Antarctic.
Of course, this progress depends on the development of policies to limit these ozone-depleting substances. “The recovery of the ozone layer is on track, with all countries adopting effective control measures under the Montreal Protocol, and the peak of global ozone depletion is in the past,” said Dr. David Fahy, co-chair of the panel.
