World Ozone Day 2022

World Ozone Day 2022 falls on
September 16 to commemorate the signing of the Montreal Protocol, an
international treaty to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production
of many substances.

World Ozone Day 2022 is
celebrated around the world on September 16 every year to start a conversation
and raise awareness about the depletion of the ozone layer. Each year, the
United Nations announces a theme for World Ozone Day, focusing on immediate
action that must be taken by people and governments. Ozone is a protective
layer in the Earth’s atmosphere that absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation
that reaches Earth from the Sun. World Ozone Day 2022 is celebrated to spread
awareness about ways that are effective in protecting the ozone layer.


Date of World Ozone Day 2022

World Ozone Day is celebrated
every year on September 16 to highlight and spread awareness about the
importance of the ozone layer in protecting the Earth.

Theme of World Ozone Day 2022

The theme of World Ozone Day 2022
is “Global Cooperation to Protect Life on Earth”. The theme of World
Ozone Day, proclaimed by the United Nations, emphasizes the collective efforts
that must be made to protect life on Earth.

History of World Ozone Day 2022

World Ozone Day was first
observed in 1995 and was celebrated to raise awareness of the importance of the
ozone layer to the environment. When scientists discovered in the 1970s that
humanity was making a hole in the ozone layer, they expressed their concerns.

Based on it, the governments of
the whole world adopted the Vienna Convention on the Protection of the Ozone
Layer in 1985 and decided to save it.

World Ozone Day on 16 September
commemorates this achievement and shows that collective decisions and action
are the only way to solve major global crises led by science.

World Ozone Day 2022: Montreal
Protocol?

The main objective of the
Montreal Protocol is to protect the ozone layer by taking measures to control
the total worldwide production and consumption of substances that damage it,
with the ultimate goal of eliminating them based on the development of
scientific knowledge and technological information. Groups of chemicals are
classified by chemical group and are listed in annexes to the text of the
Montreal Protocol. The protocol calls for the control of nearly 100 chemicals
in several categories. For each group or annex of chemical substances, the
Agreement establishes a schedule for the gradual cessation of production and
consumption of these substances, with the aim of eventually eliminating them
completely.

The schedule established by the
Protocol applies to the consumption of ozone-depleting substances. Consumption
is defined as the amount produced plus imported minus the amount exported in a
given year. There is also a deduction for certified destruction. Percentage
reductions refer to the specified baseline year for the substance. The Protocol
does not prohibit the use of existing or recycled controlled substances after
the phase-out date.

There are a few exceptions for
essential uses where no acceptable substitutes have been found, such as in
metered dose inhalers (MDIs) commonly used to treat asthma and other
respiratory problems, or in halon fire extinguishing systems used in submarines
and aircraft.

In 1994, the United Nations
General Assembly declared 16 September the International Day for the
Preservation of the Ozone Layer, commemorating the signing of the Montreal
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987 (resolution
49/114).

International Day of Peace.

In 1981, the United Nations General Assembly declared the third Tuesday of September as International Day of Peace. This day coincided with the opening day of the annual sessions of the General Assembly. The purpose of the day was and still remains, to strengthen the ideals of peace around the world.

Two decades after establishing this day of observance, in 2001, the assembly moved the date to be observed annually on September 21. So, beginning in 2002, September 21 marks not only a time to discuss how to promote and maintain peace among all peoples but also a 24-hour period of global ceasefire and non-violence for groups in active combat.

Peace is possible. Throughout history, most societies have lived in peace most of the time. Today, we are much less likely to die in war than our parents or grandparents. Since the establishment of the United Nations and the creation of the Charter of the United Nations, governments are obligated not to use force against others unless they are acting in self-defense or have been authorized by the UN Security Council to proceed.

Life is better in a world where peace exists and, today, we look to those who have been peacemakers and peacekeepers to learn what we can each do individually to make the world a more peaceful place.

The United Nations invites all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during the day and to otherwise commemorate the Day through education and public awareness on issues related to peace.

Every year, the International Day of Peace is celebrated under a specific theme. This year, according to the UN, the theme of World Peace Day 2022 is ‘End racism , Build peace.’ There will be many events, workshops, and educational seminars on the eve of World Peace Day 2022 to create awareness among people about how to develop a world free of racism and racial discrimination.

According to the United Nations, “Racism continues to poison institutions, social structures, and everyday life in every society. It continues to be a driver of persistent inequality. And it continues to deny people their fundamental human rights. It destabilises societies, undermines democracies, erodes the legitimacy of governments, and the linkages between racism and gender inequality are unmistakable.”

Stop buying, start adopting.

 At Kotul, Maharashtra, on June 12, 2022. A little kid named Viraj and his sister out for a morning stroll at six in the morning. They were attacked by a pack of stray dogs at a given distance, particularly Viraj. His sister made a valiant effort to save her, but she was unable to stop the dogs from attacking. A pack of stray dogs attacked and murdered Viraj. It sounds ridiculous. There are other incidents documented online, including one that happened on May 27, 2022, when a pack of dogs attacked an alone toddler. After removing the kid from a private hospital unit on June 28, a stray dog murdered the 2-day-old youngster. It is hazardous.

People forget about this issue since it never receives adequate attention. Thus, there are no measures in place to manage this.

Over 30 million stray dogs are said to exist in India. Free-roaming pets is the term used by the World Health Organization (WHO).


A stray dog is a who?


Three categories are used to group this.

 

  • An unrestricted dog can move wherever they want but is partially dependent on humans for food. This dog falls under category one.

  • An unrestricted dog who is completely independent and not dependent on humans for their food. Those dogs can find their food in the garbage. These dogs fall under category two.

  • The third category of dogs is those who have been abandoned by their owners. 


The canines in groups two and three are very different from one another. The dogs in the second category know how to live, while the abandoned dogs do not. They typically pass away from sickness or in accidents.

India has a far greater percentage of pet abandonment than the rest of the globe, according to the 2021 State of Pet Homelessness Index study. In India, more than 50% of both present and former pet owners admitted to having abandoned or surrendered at least one animal. This explains why there are so many street dogs around.


The issue is not that the government is inaction. The government is requiring them to follow some regulations.


Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) strives to stop the mistreatment of animals. Dog feeders were put in place, which give stray dogs food.

What is the solution to these problems?


  • sterilize a dog as a pet, A portion of your pet’s reproductive organ is surgically removed during sterilization to prevent it from reproducing in the future. The majority of animals that are sterilized are male and female dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Castration, the removal of the testicles from male animals, is a widespread practice
  • Please vaccinate your dog as part of the immunization program if you own one. because a variety of disorders may impact it. Therefore always remember that prevention is preferable to treatment.
  • Enforce pet management regulations to prevent dog owners from leaving their animals behind.
  • Habitat management: Stop spreading needless trash if you want to maintain a healthy habitat.
  • control canine reproduction, There are two ways to stop a female dog from going into heat: Ovariohysterectomy (spay) surgery, number one: Recommended. The uterus and both ovaries are surgically removed during an ovariohysterectomy, sometimes known as a spay procedure.
  • Start adopting stray animals; India is home to 30 million strays. There are around 1.3 billion people living in our nation. If a group of at least four people starts caring for at least one dog, then further options are not necessary.

Feed one dog instead of one hundred if you can’t. A stray dog’s existence is an extremely miserable one. They have no hope when they get up since they never know when an accident may claim their lives. They saunter about looking for food and water. To be safe, they never stop observing the goings-on around them. Start adopting them and save them.
