Summary

Two global environmental problems are occurring in the atmosphere: changing dynamics of the stratospheric ozone layer and rapid climate change. The two problems and their interactions are discussed, especially from the viewpoint of the consequences for living organisms and the involvement of living organisms in the interactions.
