Virtual Workshop on Low-Carbon Cooling

The promotion of energy-efficient, climate-friendly technology is critical to meeting developing Asia’s rapidly increasing demand for cooling while advancing net-zero carbon targets, climate change mitigation under the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals. However, such breakthroughs will require greater cooling technology knowledge and capacity in the region.

Green Ports, Shipping, and Maritime Decarbonization

70% of global trade by volume (80% by value) is carried by maritime shipping, and 60% of these goods are loaded or unloaded in developing country ports. Maritime transport accounts for 3% of global GHG emissions - equivalent to the 6th largest GHG emitting country globally – and rising rapidly. Simultaneously, seaports are highly exposed to climate change impacts including sea-level rise and increased intensity of storms.
