Having demonstrated that CFCs damage the ozone layer, Nobel Laureate Mario Molina helped develop the Montreal Protocol which banned their use worldwide. The ozone layer is recovering, and this gives him great hope that we can tackle climate change.
 
Professor Molina met students and scientists at the University of Minnesota, the Science Museum of Minnesota and the 3M Global Headquarters in April 2018 as part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative (NPII), a global programme designed to help Nobel Laureates share their inspirational stories and insights. By taking Nobel Laureates on visits to universities and research centres around the world, and by capturing their thoughts on video, the Initiative seeks to bring the Laureates into closer contact with the worldwide scientific community, and especially with an audience of young scientists. The NPII in St. Paul was delivered in partnership with 3M
