The Saving the Ozone Layer Conference was an international meet, which was organised to draw attention to the global problem created by the developed world, which was trying to dictate its terms to the developing countries for CFCs pollution. It stressed upon the final withdrawal of all Ozone depleting CFCs and other chemicals. The Helsinki conference was held in 1989, to revise the Montreal Protocol.
