As part of the 2020 celebrations for the World Refrigeration Day (WRD); the WRD Secretariat, ASHRAE, European Partnership for Energy and Environment (EPEE), the Global Food Cold Chain Council (GFCCC), the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) and UNEP OzonAction are jointly raising the awareness of the importance of the Cold Chain sector and its vital role for food safety and security as well as human health. The joint Campaign is entitled: “COLD CHAIN 4 LIFE”
The partners of the campaign have prepared a Celebration Kit of materials and useful references to assist National Ozone Units (NOUs), government entities, local/regional associations, and industry to celebrate the 2020 WRD. The Celebration Kit and useful references are listed at the bottom of this page.
An International Webinar under the theme of ‘Cold Chain 4 Life’ is also planned for the 26 June 2020. A detailed program will be released shortly.
We encourage you all to use the opportunity of WRD to raise awareness and understanding of the significant role that the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry, and the associated science and technology play in modern life and society in a safe and responsible manner that is fully compliant with local regulations and aligned to all safety measures. We welcome creative thinking and look forward to learning about the many ways you can promote our industry, its applications and careers.
