The Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) is one of three Panels of experts that inform the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. The EEAP focuses on the effects of UV radiation on human health, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, air quality, and materials, as well as on the interactive effects of UV radiation and global climate change. When considering the effects of climate change, it has become clear that processes resulting in changes in stratospheric ozone are more complex than previously held. Because of the Montreal Protocol, there are now indications of the beginnings of a recovery of stratospheric ozone, although the time required to reach levels like those before the 1960s is still uncertain, particularly as the effects of stratospheric ozone on climate change and vice versa, are not yet fully understood. Some regions will likely receive enhanced levels of UV radiation, while other areas will likely experience a reduction in UV radiation as ozone- and climate-driven changes affect the amounts of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface. Like the other Panels, the EEAP produces detailed Quadrennial Reports every four years; the most recent was published as a series of seven papers in 2015 (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2015, 14, 1–184). In the years in between, the EEAP produces less detailed and shorter Update Reports of recent and relevant scientific findings. The most recent of these was for 2016 (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2017, 16, 107–145). The present 2017 Update Report assesses some of the highlights and new insights about the interactive nature of the direct and indirect effects of UV radiation, atmospheric processes, and climate change. A full 2018 Quadrennial Assessment, will be made available in 2018/2019.

臭氧消耗、紫外线辐射以及与气候变化的相互作用的环境影响：联合国环境规划署环境影响评估小组，2017 年更新

环境影响评估小组 (EEAP) 是向《蒙特利尔议定书》缔约方提供信息的三个专家小组之一。EEAP 重点关注紫外线辐射对人类健康、陆地和水生生态系统、空气质量和材料的影响，以及紫外线辐射和全球气候变化的相互作用。在考虑气候变化的影响时，很明显，导致平流层臭氧变化的过程比以前认为的更加复杂。由于《蒙特利尔议定书》，现在有迹象表明平流层臭氧开始恢复，尽管达到 1960 年代之前水平所需的时间仍不确定，特别是考虑到平流层臭氧对气候变化的影响，反之亦然，尚未完全了解。一些地区的紫外线辐射水平可能会增强，而其他地区的紫外线辐射可能会减少，因为臭氧和气候驱动的变化会影响到达地球表面的紫外线辐射量。与其他小组一样，EEAP 每四年发布一次详细的四年期报告；最近的一篇于 2015 年作为七篇论文系列发表（Photochem. Photobiol. Sci. , 2015, 14 , 1–184）。在此期间，EEAP 就最新相关科学发现发布了不太详细且较短的更新报告。其中最新的是 2016 年（Photochem. Photobiol. Sci ., 2017, 16 , 107–145）。目前的 2017 年更新报告评估了有关紫外线辐射、大气过程和气候变化的直接和间接影响的相互作用性质的一些要点和新见解。完整的 2018 年四年期评估将于 2018/2019 年发布。
