Summary Update for Policymakers UNEP Environmental Effects Assessment Panel: Environmental Effects of Stratospheric Ozone Depletion, UV Radiation, and Interactions with Climate Change: Update 2020. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), PARIS, France, 2020.

Impact/Purpose:

The Environmental Effects Assessment Panel assesses the various effects of ozone layer depletion. It consists of members who are scientists working in photobiology and photochemistry, mainly in universities and research institutes. The Panel members write the different chapters, sometimes helped by co-authors for special topics. The chapter authors review each other's chapters, and the Panel takes responsibility for the entire assessment.

Description:

Here, we highlight findings from the 2020 Update Assessment by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The 2020 Update presents the most recent assessment since the 2019 Update and our most recent Quadrennial Assessment (Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences 18, 595-828, and also available at https://ozone.unep.org/science/assessment/eeap). The 2020 Update addresses the interactive effects between the stratospheric ozone layer, solar UV radiation, and climate change within the framework of the Montreal Protocol and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
