In 1987, the nations of the world convened in Montreal to discuss the thinning of the ozone layer.

The Montreal Protocol is considered one of the most successful international agreements; we are beginning to see a slow recovery of the ozone layer.

The success of the Montreal Protocol, however, has been overshadowed by our inability to develop a similar agreement to control the production of greenhouse gases implicated in global warming/climate change.
