The present paper deals with the consequences during the coming decades : the changes in solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth's surface, and the effects on humans, animals, plants, microorganisms, air quality and materials. A welcome new element, compared with the earlier assessments, is a special chapter on biogeochemical cycles. The main questions from a policy point of view are now : what will be the most important effects, and what can be done to prevent or mitigate these?
