Overview
The global transition from ozone-depleting potential (ODP) and high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants as triggered by the Montreal Protocol and its amendments, significantly affected not only types of refrigerants but also the types of RACHP technologies that are, and should, be deployed in markets.
Sustainable Development Goals linking to market policies and practice regulatory measures are crucial elements in building an overarching framework that can strengthen the sector through best and sound practices during the life-cycle of RACHP applications.
Hear from Jim Curlin of UNEP as he discussed the RACHP Sector and the global agenda for Net Zero and the challenges that we, as a sector, face.
