Thanks to the Montreal Protocol, summer ice will remain in the Arctic for another 15 years

The Montreal Protocol helped save the world from the first ice-free summer in the Arctic zone thanks to timely action taken by the global community.

According to scientists from the United States, if the document had not been developed, approved and signed in time, this could have happened in the Arctic as early as the 2030s.

But thanks to the restriction of the use of chemicals (in particular, chlorofluorocarbons), this critical moment will at least be pushed back by fifteen years.
