Protect the Shield that Safeguards Life on Earth
The Montreal Protocol started as a global commitment to protect the ozone layer and is now one of the most effective environmental agreements ever. The Protocol was consented in 1987 as part of the Vienna Convention on Protection of The Ozone Layer, and the UN General Assembly declared September 16th the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer in 1994. Bangladesh has been recognising the day since 1990 following the treaty’s signing in the same year. The Kigali Amendment will make the Montreal Protocol an even more effective tool in the fight against global warming. The impact of the Kigali Amendment will avoid up to 0.5 °C increase in global temperature by the end of the century.

Air Pollution and Climate Change: Two Sides of the Same Coin
What is your aim in life? To such a question, school children easily answer to become doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers, bankers or businessmen. But in today’s era of global warming, the mindset of working to protect the environment or thinking about issues like climate change does not move much in the minds of our students. Well, have we ever thought deeply about what are the limitations that lie ahead in realising our life goals? We think and believe that social or economic issues are our biggest limitations. But the reality is that the environmental degradation of the present world and the level of pollution in the developing countries are one of the main obstacles to reaching our goal. We may not think much that one of the causes of social and economic degradation is today’s environmental pollution.

‘The Air We Share’ should be cleaner
by Team CAPS, 0 Comments
The United Nations (UN) General Assembly’s Second Committee passed a resolution declaring September 7 as the “International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies” during its 74th session. The theme for the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies’22 is “The Air We Share.” It emphasises the need for communal accountability and collective action by concentrating on the trans-boundary aspect of air pollution. The problem of air pollution is global and widespread. Air pollution is the largest contributor to the burden of disease from the environment and is one of the leading unavoidable causes of death and disease globally. Ninety-nine per cent of the world’s population is now breathing polluted air, warns WHO. Seven million people die each year due to air pollution, with 90 per cent of them in low and middle-income countries (WHO, the Lancet Planetary Health).
