International Ozone Day (International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer) is observed on September 16 every year in Brazil, just as it is globally. Brazil's participation highlights its commitment to environmental stewardship, especially given its status as a major global power and home to the Amazon rainforest, a vital climate regulator. Through the Brazilian Ozone Layer Protection Program (Prozon), the country successfully met international obligations to eliminate the use of harmful chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) within established deadlines.
