CIESIN and its Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) are pleased to announce on-line availability of the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) Environmental Effects of Ozone Depletion: 1997 Interim Report. Written at UNEPÍs Environmental Effects of Ozone Depletion Panel meeting last month in Erlangen, Germay, this summary is the last one between the full assessments of 1994 and 1998 on environmental effects of ozone depletion. The aim of the summary is to keep the parties to the Montreal Protocol informed about new scientific developments. The full text to the 1997 Interim Summary is found at SEDACÍs Stratospheric Ozone and Human Health website: http://sedac.ciesin.org/ozone.
A link to the 1997 Summary may be found at the "New" section of the home page. Links to UNEP's 1996 summary and the full text to the complete 1994 Assessment are also available at this site.
