COP28 IIR workshop - Sustainable refrigeration practices in health systems

For hospitals, pharmacies, the cold chain for vaccines...

 

In developing countries, there is a need to develop a sustainable and reliable cold chain for healthcare products and services to improve quality of life through better treatment and working conditions. The medical cold chain contributes around 1% of global GHG emissions (with both direct and indirect emissions).

This workshop will present solutions to reduce the energy emissions and consumption of medical cooling systems with better use.
