- The project sees ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ contribute to the research on the reduction of food loss across the global supply chain
- Seven per cent of the world’s emissions come from cooling – needed for food and vaccine cold-chains - with demand set to grow further as global temperatures increase.
The COP26 President, the Rt. Hon. Alok Sharma MP, this week visited a pioneering research centre in Africa, which aims to reduce food loss and waste using sustainable cooling without driving up energy demands.
The visit from Mr Sharma coincided with his attendance at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Rwanda.
The Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold-chain (ACES) is a first of its kind dedicated to generating ideas and technology to support sustainable cooling without exacerbating climate change.
