16 September 2012 marks the 25th
anniversary of the Montreal Protocol!

We had a huge celebration for the 20th
anniversary – we do not intend to do
something as big this year

And we have much to celebrate this year

After due consideration and consultations,
the main theme for this year’s celebration

Our Vision – Our Dream
We wish to celebrate this important
milestone around two key periods:

The Ozone Secretariat wishes to encourage
parties to hold ozone day celebrations

The Secretariat may be able to provide
some funds to assist in those celebrations

at least 24 celebrations around the world to
compile a short film for display at the 24th
