What did many countries do to stop CFCs?

Many countries implemented regulations to phase out the production and use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in response to their harmful effects on the ozone layer. A key international agreement, the Montreal Protocol, was adopted in 1987, which set legally binding targets for reducing and eventually eliminating CFCs and other ozone-depleting substances. Countries committed to transitioning to safer alternatives and promoting technologies that do not harm the ozone layer, significantly reducing CFC emissions worldwide.
