By Degrees discussions
By Degrees Magazine aims to promote, explore and stimulate debate around the role of cooling as critical infrastructure, ensuring societal well-being, economic stability, and public health; adapting and mitigating the impacts of extreme heat to climate change.
In a By Degrees article, A Cool World: Accelerating the journey to Sustainable Cold-Chain for the Global South, Dr Tim Fox explores the importance of clean cooling solutions, the barriers to progress and the roadmap to a cool world - also to be explored at our upcoming conference: Sustainable Cold-Chain for the Global South.
In another By Degrees article, Building Africa’s Resilience through Cold-Chain Training for Global Health, ACES’s One Health team, Jean Pierre Musabyimana, Hugor Shema and Ariane Mutabaruka discuss how the cold-chain is the silent backbone to global health, and how its failure can mean the difference between life and death. This is one of the plenary topics to be discussed at the Sustainable Cold-Chain for the Global South conference too.
