responsible for ozone depletion. Signed in 1987 by 46
countries, it is considered a success as NASA projects that
ozone levels will return to 1980 levels by 2032. The Protocol

create jobs and income for businesses. However, this requires converting agricultural
lands into industrial zones, leading to the displacement of farmers and affecting
agricultural production.

taxes and wages to invest in an area,
claiming that it will result in more jobs
and income for the local community
and government.
