 Children
need to know about ozone depletion and its consequences because
for as long as the ozone layer remains depleted, they need to protect
themselves from excess UV radiation and practice "safe sun"
behaviour.
Also, as everyone with a daughter or son knows, children are important
for another reason: they transmit messages and information to adults:
their parents, families, and teachers.
For these reasons, UNEP has emphasised children in its Global Awareness
Campaign under the Multilateral Fund and has developed a suite of
educational and public awareness products aimed at children.
In this video, Ozzy Ozone and Alberta the Albatross take a voyage
of discovery to find out exactly who and what is attacking the ozone
layer and how children can play an important role in making a difference.
This video is 9 minutes long. It has been shown in 62 countries
and has been translated to 22 languages. Airline companies have
shown it. Betacam format of this video is available in English,
French, and Spanish and it is suggested that the national television
channels could diffuse it. The international version of the video
is available in case countries wish to translate it into a national
language.
