On the 17th of September 2021, an open lecture about “Montreal Protocol: Keeping Us, our Food and Vaccines Cool” devoted to World Ozone Day was held at the “New Generation” Multifunctional Centre. Provided that the refrigeration sector is inherently affected by a gender representation gap, it has been decided that one of the activities devoted to the World Ozone Day, should be focused on women participation. This activity was organized jointly with the “New Generation” Multifunctional Centre, a private Professional College which is supporting women with training and employment opportunities. The program of this activity included:

  • Information about World Ozone Day 2021, Vienna Convention and Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone layer and the importance of the ozone layer protection. The NOU representative presented a material about “The importance of Ozone Layer protection for the benefits of human health and climate change”;
  • Information about World Ozone Day and presentation of theme and poster for World Ozone Day 2021 “Montreal Protocol: Keeping Us, our Food and Vaccines Cool”;
  • Videos about the importance of Ozone layer protection – “IT’S KEY FOR OUR SURVIVAL, World Ozone Day 2021” – “Montreal Protocol: Keeping Us, our Food and Vaccines Cool” and “UNEP Executive Director’s Messages for World Ozone Day 2021” were displayed.


At the end of the event, information leaflets prepared by NOU, T-shirts, masks and hats with the logo of World Ozone Day 2021 were distributed to the participants
