BAN SPOTLIGHTS NEED FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO PRESERVE OZONE
LAYER, PROTECT ENVIRONMENTNew York, Sep 16 2013 2:00PMUnited Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today called on the international
community to continue efforts that will preserve the world's ozone
layer and protect the environment.

In his <"http://www.unep.org/newscentre/Default.aspx?DocumentID=2726&ArticleID=9612&l=en">message
for the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, Mr.
Ban pointed to the Montreal Protocol as an example of how Member
States are capable to work for the common good.

"Extraordinary challenges require extraordinary responses," he said.
"A generation ago, the world's nations agreed to act definitively to
protect the ozone layer, initiating an intergovernmental process that
blazed new trails."

Signed on 16 September 1987, the Montreal Protocol aims to protect the
ozone layer by taking measures to control total global production and
consumption of substances that deplete it, with the ultimate objective
of their elimination.

The ozone layer, a fragile shield of gas, protects the Earth from the
harmful portion of the rays of the sun, thus helping preserve life on
the planet. The Protocol has catalyzed innovation in the chemical and
equipment manufacturing industry, resulting in more energy-efficient
and environmentally friendly refrigeration systems.

Action under the Protocol has also had significant climate benefits.
Many harmful substances have been phased out, such as
chlorofluorocarbons once used in products such as hairsprays, which
are significant greenhouse gases.

Mr. Ban called the Protocol a "remarkable success story" which
provides a "beacon of hope," and serves to chart a new vision beyond
2015, the deadline for the eight anti-poverty goals known as the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

"Sustainable development – enabled by the integration of economic
growth, social justice and environmental stewardship – must become our
global guiding principle and operational standard," Mr. Ban said.

"On this <"http://www.un.org/en/events/ozoneday/">International Day
for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, I commend all who have made
the Montreal Protocol such an outstanding example of international
cooperation. I urge Governments, industry, civil society and all
other partners to apply the same spirit to the other great environment
and development challenges of our times."Sep 16 2013 2:00PM
