Ozone protects us from UV-B, and any UV-C that makes it past the nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen and oxygen protect us from UV-C, and some of the oxygen then ends up making ozone...

Does carbon dixoide absorb ultraviolet radiation?

No, carbon dioxide primarily absorbs infrared radiation (heat) in the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat within the atmosphere. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by other gases such as ozone in the stratosphere.

How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
