4.  Key ongoing issues Quantitative relationships between change in ozone change, and change in UV radiation as it affects humans and ecosystems Balance of contrasting effects, within organisms (e.g. positive and negative effects of UV on human health), and ecosystems.  What is new in science Improved understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of responses. Interactions with other elements of environmental change  Key requests from the Parties to the Protocol 2014 Contents: The Birds-Eye View October 24, 201325th Meeting of the Parties, Bangkok4
