In 1977, the Co-ordinating Committee on the Ozone Layer was established by the United Nations Environmental Programme(UNEP), and UNEP's Governing Council adopted the World Plan of Action on the Ozone Layer. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, some national governments, including the United States, Canada and Scandinavian countries, imposed bans on CFCs as aerosol propellants is non-essential uses : antiperspirants, hairsprays and deodorants.

The Network for the Detection for Stratospheric Change(NDSC) is a set of high-quality remote-sounding research stations for observing and understanding the physical and chemical state of the stratosphere. Ozone and key ozone-related chemical compounds and parameters are targeted for measurement. The NDSC is a major component of the international upper atmosphere research effort and has been endorsed by national and international scientific agencies, including the International Ozone Commission, the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), and the World Meteorological Organization(WMO).

[World Meteorological Organization]. GAW was established in 1989 as a coordinated system of networks of observing stations some of which began data-gathering in the 1950s and includes associated facilities and infrastructure encompassing measurement and related scientific assessment activities. The overall role of GAW is to supply basic information... indicative of the atmospheric environment that transcends specific issues. The measurement programme includes : greenhouse gases, ozone..., radiation... and optical depth, precipitation chemistry, chemical and physical properties of aerosols, reactive gases, radionuclides, and related meteorological parameters. National and international policy decisions affecting the environment in the 21st century will thus relay heavily on the scientific data gathered through GAW.

... of the World Meteorological Organization. The Atmospheric Research and Environment Programme promotes atmospheric research and development and technology transfer between Members. It includes the Global Atmosphere Watch, which integrates monitoring and research activities carried out under the Global Ozone Observing System(GO3OS) and the Background Air Pollution Monitoring Network(BAPMoN) and serves as a system to detect changes in the composition of the atmosphere, an important prerequisite to understanding human impact on the atmosphere and addressing important aspects of sustainable development. The Programme also includes weather prediction research; a Tropical Meteorology Research Programme relating to studies of monsoons, tropical cyclones, rain-producing tropical weather systems and droughts; and a programme on the physics and chemistry of clouds and weather modification.

[...] de l'Organisation météorologique mondiale. Le PRAE vise à stimuler la recherche atmosphérique, de même que l'élaboration de techniques et leur échange entre les Membres. Un de ses volets est la Veille de l'atmosphère globale, qui regroupe toutes les activités de surveillance et de recherche menées dans le cadre du Système mondial d'observation de l'ozone (SMOO3) et du Réseau de surveillance de la pollution atmosphérique de fond (PABMoN) et dont l'objectif essentiel est de détecter les modifications de la composition de l'atmosphère, ce qui est indispensable pour bien comprendre l'influence de l'homme sur l'atmosphère et pour faciliter la pratique d'un développement durable. Il comprend aussi des programmes de recherche sur la prévision météorologique, un programme de recherche en météorologie tropicale - englobant l'étude de la mousson, des cyclones tropicaux, des systèms météorologiques tropicaux pluvigènes et des sécheresses - et un programme de recherche sur la physique et la chimie des nuages et sur la modification artificielle du temps.
