A key matter in the battle against climate change, the side event will focus on clean heating and cooling opportunities in buildings and food chains and how these can align climate policy with development goals. Experts from the IIR, ACES, RD&T, RAP, DENA Germany and governments representatives will dive into these frontier challenges, exploring policy, technology and models to be implemented.
