The 97,000 delegates registered in Dubai for the UN CoP28 climate summit are being kept cool in the desert heat with unsustainable, energy-inefficient cooling units containing potent climate-polluting refrigerant gases
The Global Cooling Pledge was launched today at the UN Climate Change Conference (CoP28) in Dubai, bringing a much-needed focus on the climate impacts of the cooling sector
European policy-makers today agreed a revised European Union (EU) F-gas Regulation supporting decarbonisation goals and driving innovation and green investment across a wide range of sectors, including heat pumps, the cold chain, healthcare and more.
LONDON: US chemical giant Chemours is today (6 December) accused by the London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) of peddling spurious claims and disinformation to prevent the adoption of ambitious EU climate legislation that will further restrict the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), a prominent segment of the company’s portfolio.
Proposed new rules unveiled yesterday (5 April) by the European Commission to restrict climate-damaging fluorinated gases (F-gases) fall short of what is needed and could result in another lost decade in the increasingly urgent fight against climate change
Some of the world’s biggest manufacturers of cooling equipment - like air conditioners and refrigeration units - are yet to join a UN-backed global campaign asking companies to commit to halving their emissions by 2030 to help combat climate change, according to documents obtained by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).
