This dashboard provides an overview of key insights on the Ozone Layer, including emissions of substances that deplete the ozone layer, the success of the Montreal Protocol, and the stabilization of ozone levels in the stratosphere since the late 1990s. It also includes information on the rapid growth of the ozone hole over the Antarctic until it stopped growing around the year 2000. The data used in this dashboard was obtained from Our World in Data's Ozone Layer topic page, with data published by various organizations including the World Meteorological Organization, UNEP, NOAA, NASA, and the European Commission
