Did the world fix the hole in the ozone layer? | Mongabay explains

When humans came together to fix the hole in the ozone caused by CFCs, we managed to shrink the hole and in the next 40 years it could disappear altogether. Scientists and conservationists hold this example up as a sign that we're equally capable of tackling other environmental concerns like climate change at a global scale. So how did we fix the ozone depletion problem?

The landmark Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, such as CFCs, represents a story of strong global cooperation.
