Latest findings of A3 risk assessment conducted in Japan (tentative)
Time Description Venue
13:00
Organizer: JRAIA Description: In this side event, latest development of Japan’s legislation and financial support for R&D of low-GWP products will be presented by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). Following METI’s presentation, JRAIA (The Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association) will explain current status of studies on low-GWP refrigerants and its commercialization of RACHP products. In addition, advantage of adopting CSPF (Cooling seasonal performance factor) in MEPS evaluation to promote more energy efficient products such as inverter driven ACs, ultimately leading to reduction of CO2 emission in A5 countries will be explained in detail.

Smarter Standards: Vital for Kigali Amendment Success
Time Description Venue
13:00
Organizer: EIA Description: This side event will focus on the climate imperative of modernizing standards for successful implementation of the Kigali Amendment and the ongoing HCFC phase-out. The Montreal Protocol and other policy venues have recently started recognizing updated standards as a critical step to implementing the transition away from HCFCs and HFCs. The pace at which this work continues will be a primary driver of the technology options available to countries in meeting their domestic and international climate commitments in the RAC sector. Additional efforts are needed both within the Montreal Protocol framework and in individual countries for standards that enable widespread safe application of low-GWP refrigerants.
