1. World Ozone Day 2026: India Launches Net Zero Portal and NAPCC Dashboard

World Ozone Day, officially known as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, was observed on 16 September 2026.

On the occasion, India launched two important digital platforms:

  • India's Net Zero Portal

  • National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) Dashboard

The platforms are intended to improve access to information relating to India's climate policies, climate action and progress towards long-term environmental goals.

Why is 16 September Important?

The date commemorates the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987.

The Montreal Protocol is considered one of the world's most successful international environmental agreements.

Ozone Layer

The stratospheric ozone layer absorbs a large proportion of harmful ultraviolet-B radiation from the Sun.

Ozone-depleting substances historically included:

  • CFCs

  • Halons

  • Carbon tetrachloride

  • Methyl chloroform

  • HCFCs

Kigali Amendment

The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol deals primarily with the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).

Although HFCs do not significantly deplete the ozone layer, many are powerful greenhouse gases.

Exam Point

World Ozone Day → 16 September

Montreal Protocol → 1987

India's new platforms → Net Zero Portal + NAPCC Dashboard
