The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) project SPARC (Stratospheric Processes and Their Role in Climate) was established in 1992. Its initial organization was developed, in part, to help science to contribute to the WMO/UNEP Ozone assessments that provide the scientific bases for changes in the Montreal Protocol. Some examples of these contributions are given in this chapter, and SPARC's future role relating to the Montreal Protocol is also discussed.
