The 25th Anniversary
of the Montreal Protocol
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
1
The Theme for Ozone Day 2012
After due consideration and consultations,
the main theme for this year’s celebration
will be:
“Protecting our atmosphere
for generations to come”

Our Vision – Our Dream
We wish to celebrate this important
milestone around two key periods:
International Day for the Preservation of
the Ozone Layer – Mid-September
2012 – for the national celebrations
24th MOP – 12-16 November 2012 –
for the international celebrations

International Ozone Day
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
We would like to get some video clips from
at least 24 celebrations around the world to
compile a short film for display at the 24th
Meeting of the Parties
