Under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, all countries agreed to regulate ozone depleting substances in a race to reverse the widening "hole" in our planet's ozone layer, which shields us from damaging ultraviolet radiation. Three decades later, scientists are discovering new benefits from this landmark agreement that made natural ozone repair possible. In this webinar, we'll explore the connections between ozone, plants and global climate change. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.
