Studies have credited the Montreal Protocol with preventing hundreds of millions of cases of skin cancer and lessening the extent of global warming. In a rapidly industrializing world, the Protocol showed a global commitment to the "precautionary principle" and the future of the planet's environment. It did so by dedicating to international cooperation, agreeing on the science that was presented, setting realistic timelines and creating international funds to help the phase-out of chlorofluorocarbons that were damaging the thin layer of ozone that makes life on our planet possible.
