The urgent need for industry to innovate efficient and sustainable cooling follows the call for international unity in developing National Cooling Action Plans. So far 81 nations have ratified the Kigali Amendment in favor of the Montreal Protocol. In reducing the production and consumption of HFCs and GHGs, the Kigali Amendment aims to avoid global warming up to 0.4°C this century.

UN secretary-general António Guterres has made comments to inaugurate an International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer in hope of reifying the transition to more energy efficient means of cooling with lower impact on the climate.

“Implementation of the Kigali Amendment will be front and centre for climate action. We need all countries to develop National Cooling Action Plans to deliver efficient and sustainable cooling and bring essential life preserving services like vaccines and safe food to all people. We are calling for concrete and enhanced actions from industry. The leadership of global leading companies is essential to realise the vision into reality.”
