Pathways to Near-Zero Emission Cooling

Mapping these points within the food system allows for precise, targeted interventions that can reduce losses, optimise productivity, and support local...
Living in a +50°C World - The System Roadmap
Despite a clear, indisputable need, clean cooling and cold-chain solutions are not being implemented at the required scale on-the-ground in the Global South. Why is that? What are the key issues? And, most importantly, what can practically be done to address them?
Cold Chain Financing Mechanisms
Scaling clean cold-chains requires significant financial investment. Finance may come from both public and private institutions, each with unique requirements and characteristics. This webinar will provide an overview of different financing mechanisms available for cold-chains.
