The Knowledge Platform is a place for The Clean Cooling Network to share a range of data, research, analysis, models and tools to help shape and develop your Clean Cooling strategy.
The Clean Cooling Network Resources aim to support and provide an understanding of the strategic importance of cold-chain as critical infrastructure.
Achieve clean cooling success
Webinars, downloadable tools & models, publications, procedures, and guidelines
Many elements make up the Clean Cold-Chain. Our range of resources will aid your organisation when preparing and creating a solid strategy for clean cooling and cold-chain development and deployment.
Whether it's investigating and modelling weather extremes, within a chosen location, or identifying and maintaining the quality and safety of perishable agri-food products, we can help.
We understand that the impact of poor cooling can be felt globally. Climate change adaptation needs to be driven at an organisational and governmental level.
Models & Tools
Analysis, implementation, and compliance toolkits.
The Clean Cooling Network develops sophisticated models and toolkits for analysing cold-chain requirements, implementation recommendations and strategies, on both a local and national level.
Publications & Reports
Discover a range of significant publications, papers, and reports from the CCN academic teams, covering a wide variety of cooling and cold-chain topics. In support, we also have a range of different news and discussions across the network.

Cooling as Critical Infrastructure to Survive and Thrive - with Dr Tim Fox
The recent increase in severe and frequent heatwaves due to rising temperatures will have significant and disastrous consequences, impacting all liveable aspects of life on Earth. A viable solution needs to address our survival and the quality of every aspect of our local and global environment.
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?
