Explanation

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. It was agreed upon in 1987 and entered into force in 1989. It is widely considered one of the most successful international environmental agreements. The Bretton Woods Conference (1944) led to the establishment of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. The Kyoto Protocol (1997) is an international treaty aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. The Nagoya Protocol (2010) is a supplementary agreement to the Convention on Biological Diversity, focused on access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their utilization. Therefore, the Montreal Protocol is the correct answer.
