CCAC Cooling Hub: Virtual Meeting of Members

(Paris)
Virtual
The 2030 Cooling Engagement Strategy aims to maximize the environmental and climate benefits of the HFC phase-down under Kigali Amendment by promoting early and complementary actions on HFCs, supporting strategic actions to minimize HFC emissions throughout the lifecycle of cooling equipment, and reducing the energy demand associated with new and existing cooling equipment.
The Cooling Hub brings together state and non-state members and other interested entities to build high-level political leadership and facilitate collaboration on its current priorities: lifecycle refrigerant management, preventing dumping of cooling appliances and cooling efficiency.
This meeting will update members of the cooling hub on past and upcoming activities, as well as progress in three projects being funded by the CCAC.
