This webinar will illustrate why it is crucial for countries to enhance their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with Green Cooling solutions based on natural refrigerants and highly energy-efficient appliances and buildings. Moreover, this webinar will introduce existing tools to assess a country’s ambition level and provide guidelines to integrate and appropriately cover the cooling sector in an NDC.

The refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector is responsible for up to 10% of global GHG emissions, stemming from refrigerant use (direct emissions) and the operation of the equipment using fossil-fuel based energy sources (indirect emissions). Reducing these emissions is important to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Green Cooling solutions exist for almost all RAC subsectors. They are very cost-efficient and therefore considered as “low-hanging fruits”.
