The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations together to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.
The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (the Montreal Protocol) is an international agreement made in 1987. It was designed to stop the production and import of ozone depleting substances and reduce their concentration in the atmosphere to help protect the earth's ozone layer.
“The Montreal Protocol is one of the most important and successful global environmental treaties ever,” said David Fahey, director of NOAA's Chemical Sciences Laboratory and Co-chair of the Scientific Assessment Panel of the Montreal Protocol.
The Montreal Protocol has proven to be innovative and successful, and it is the first treaty to achieve universal ratification by all countries in the world.
A big part of Montreal Protocol's success is that it wasn't a one-and-done back in the '80s. Rather the treaty has been amended over and over, each time making the agreement better for the environment.

The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer are major milestones in international environmental law, striving together to protect the environment from any harmful effects of the ozone layer depletion through control, reduction and ...
The Montreal Protocol, finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). ODS are substances that were commonly used in products such as refrigerators, air conditioners, fire extinguishers, and aerosols.
Universal ratification of the Montreal Protocol Since it was agreed internationally in 1987 to phase out ozone depleting substances, 197 countries have ratified the Montreal Protocol.
