Twinning Workshop on Energy-Efficient and Climate-Friendly Refrigeration and Air Conditioning: Caribbean Quito, Ecuador, 30-31 October 2018

The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer will help protect the climate by phasing down high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are commonly used as refrigerants. Promoting energy efficiency of air conditioning and refrigeration technology can significantly increase those climate co-benefits. Under the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Programme (K-CEP), UN Environment is implementing a two-year “twinning” project to jointly build the capacity of National Ozone Officers and national energy policymakers for linking energy efficiency with Montreal Protocol objectives in support of the Kigali Amendment.
