The Tragedy of the Commons: Ozone Depletion and Climate Change

With the development of the 21st century, the challenges facing the world become increasingly obvious. The most notable of these problems are environmental problems, especially ozone depletion and climate change. The international community has been particularly successful in efforts to reduce the production and consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), but the organic compounds that contribute to the ozone problem have made considerable progress in their efforts to combat climate change.

Since ozone itself is a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming together with other ozone-depleting substances such as bromine (Br) and chlorine (Cl), climate change and destruction of the ozone layer are interrelated I will. Therefore, changes in atmospheric concentrations and ozone distribution have a major impact on the global climate system. The release of these (ODS) substances including carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbon brings about a cooling effect in the stratosphere. This cooling effect promotes the chemical reaction of chlorine and bromine, which leads to the formation of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC), which is a condition leading to destruction of the ozone layer.

Stratospheric ozone depletion is essentially a process different from climate change. However, greenhouse warming is affected by many chemical and physical processes involved in stratospheric ozone depletion (6). In addition, climate change (in addition to public information and educational activities) will change the pattern of sunlight exposure behavior of individuals and communities - will affect the dose of UV received appropriately. Several developed and developing countries have conducted national evaluations on the potential health impacts of climate change, including reference to vulnerable areas and populations. It is necessary to standardize the health impact assessment procedure, tools and methods are being developed. We need to provide more accurate climate information, especially climate change and extreme climate information at the local level
