📊 Track the recovery of the ozone layer with updated data—

The ozone layer plays a vital role in making the planet habitable for us and other species by absorbing most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

But, during the 1970s–90s, humans were emitting large quantities of substances that depleted the ozone layer.

This led to the creation of ozone holes at the earth’s poles, exposing life to higher levels of ultraviolet radiation and increasing the risks of skin cancer in humans.

During the 1980s, the world came together to form an international agreement to reduce — and eventually eliminate — emissions of these depleting substances.

The political agreements were very effective. Since then, global emissions have fallen by more than 99%.

The ozone holes have stopped growing and are now starting to close.

Our colleague @lucasrodesg recently updated our charts with the latest data from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Ozone Watch, which tracks the size of the Antarctic ozone hole and the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere.

1/3 of all municipal solid waste is mismanaged globally. In low-income countries, only 3% is treated at all.

The cost? Fewer tourists, lower crop yields, flooded streets — and millions of informal workers with no protection.

📊 Explore updated data on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) around the world—

Safe drinking water, sanitation, and handwashing facilities are basic human needs.

Individuals who can not use safe facilities have a higher risk of disease and malnutrition, and unsafe drinking water and sanitation contribute to millions of deaths each year.

The world has made significant progress in increasing their availability and usage.

But there is still more work to do — more than 2 billion people worldwide can not use a safe drinking water source on their premises.

To help you track this, our colleague Tuna Acisu recently updated more than 50 of our charts with the latest data from the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene.

With this update, our charts now include data through 2024.
