Climate- and Environmentally-friendly Solar Cooling Technology Solutions

Solar cooling technologies present a significant opportunity to contribute to the economic livelihood of communities and reaching at the same time global climate goals. Solar cooling technologies strengthen cold chains in communities with poor access to electricity and cooling by providing reliable, sustainable, and inclusive refrigeration options that reduce postharvest losses, enhance economic op-portunities, and contribute to environmental sustainability.

The Publications invites decision makers to consider solar cooling technologies with natural refrigerants and blowing agents and ideally thermal storage as a solution for their cooling needs, especially to strengthen cold chains (refrigeration) and cooling in buildings (air-conditioning). These solutions are truly sustainable, climate and environmentally-friendly, and often can benefit the development of communities.
