UNEP highlights 'Cool Skills' theme for World Refrigeration Day 2025

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) marked World Refrigeration Day 2025 with the theme “Cool Skills,” recognizing the essential role of professionals in the refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat pump (RACHP) sector. The campaign underscores the importance of skilled technicians and engineers in safeguarding health, food security, and climate resilience.

As demand for sustainable cooling solutions grows, UNEP emphasizes the need to train and equip a new generation of RACHP professionals. The organization highlights that these "cool skills" are critical to building low-carbon, energy-efficient systems that support communities worldwide.

The campaign also focuses on advancing gender equity in the sector. UNEP acknowledges the increasing presence of women in RACHP roles—from training centers and laboratories to field installations and policy forums—while calling for expanded access to education, certification, and mentorship to address persistent disparities.

Technical and vocational training is a key priority in UNEP's message. From handling refrigerants to meeting performance and safety standards, students entering the RACHP field are positioned to become future innovators and sustainability leaders.

“Cool careers” are presented not only as job opportunities but as pathways to drive progress, empower communities, and contribute to a more sustainable world. UNEP calls on all stakeholders to support inclusive education and skills development to meet the evolving needs of the cooling industry.
