How to Incentivize Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) Phase-Down?
Time Description Venue Documents
12:00 - 13:00
EAT Nairobi
Organizer: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

 

Title: How to Incentivize Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) Phase-Down?        

Abstract: HFC emissions could, in the absence of any regulation, result in an increase of 0.35-0.5°C in global mean temperature by 2100. The international community has therefore agreed to phase-down HFCs under the Kigali Amendment. But how can the objectives be reached?
 

As one element, states can set incentives for HFC-free technologies. This side event will have a closer look at that possibility. Experts will give insights on different ways of setting incentives and how this has already been realized in some countries.

From The Rome Declaration Commitments to Transformational Action on Delivering Sustainable Food Cold Chains for All
Time Description Venue
18:00 - 19:30
EAT Nairobi
Organizer: Government of Italy, FAO, Cool Coalition, Ozone Secretariat, UNEP OzonAction and Climate and Clean Air Coalition

 

Title: From The Rome Declaration Commitments to Transformational Action on Delivering Sustainable Food Cold Chains for All  

 

Abstract: Scaling up action on efficient, climate friendly cold chains is a key piece of the puzzle to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Protocol. Lack of effective cold chain is estimated to directly result in losses of 475 million tonnes or 13% of total food production. At the same time, refrigeration equipment used in the food cold-chain is responsible for 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.                                                                                                                              

During this session, participants will be able to interact with a panel of experts from governments, private sector, international organisations on issues related to sustainable food cold chains in the context of progress made since the adoption of the Rome Declaration. The discussion will revolve around available best practices in sustainable food cold chains (including on technologies, business aspects, market challenges and policies), challenges to scale them up and possible solutions to address these, which  the parties and signatories can use to back up their commitments under the Rome Declaration.
