The effects of the sun (or uv rays in general) on skin.

I've been searching to see if i can find any good information on this topic... what i'm looking for are any estimates on exactly how much of an effect the sun/uv rays have on the aging process. The closest i've come was a line saying that "some scientists" believe that about 70% of all aging is due to uv rays. I suppose what i'm more ultimately interested in is what amount of change would be seen in lifespan were uv rays not present (And would research in more efficient uv reduction techniques produce a longer living and more productive general populace. Thanks for any info you have on the topic, or any links you can dig up, if there is anything out there about this.
