Expert in climate change adaptation Tim Fox will deliver a keynote talk at the IOR’s Adaptation 2025 conference detailing why cooling is now a “mission critical” service, essential to public health, food security, global commerce, and economic well-being. The session will take a global perspective, highlighting the challenges ahead as the planet continues to warm and climates experience significant change, as well as the importance of international collaboration and coordination in delivering viable, tangible solutions. Delegates will gain valuable insights into how governments view critical infrastructure, the importance of recognising cooling as such, and progress towards achieving that status in the UK and beyond.
With over 50 papers being presented from across the globe, the Institute of Refrigeration is looking forward to hosting the IIR International Conference on Refrigeration Adapting to Rising Temperatures (Adaptation 2025) from 10 to 13 August 2025 in Manchester, UK.
As global temperatures continue to rise, the challenges faced by the refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) sectors are becoming increasingly complex. This conference will explore these critical issues and encourage the exchange of ideas and innovation among experts dedicated to developing sustainable and resilient solutions.
The programme for this three-day conference has now been released and will feature three distinct streams of technical papers, workshops, training sessions and tours covering:
- Managing risk
- Environmental, social and governance issues
- The future landscape for RACHP
