Over 170 government, industry, scientific, and international organisation representatives from more than 60 countries came together to align around one message: <b>refrigeration is no longer a side issue, it is core infrastructure.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the decade where sustainable refrigeration will shape our societies. Let&#8217;s be visionary, let&#8217;s be disruptive, and let&#8217;s be inclusive,&#8221; said&nbsp;<b>Yosr Allouche<\/b>, Director General of IIR.<\/p>\n<p> <b>A Global Turning Point<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Representing governments&#8217; view, from <b>Indonesia to Nigeria to the European Union<\/b>, national leaders highlighted how refrigeration supports clean energy, food security, and economic inclusion. The proposed <b>National Committees <\/b>would bring together ministries, private sector, and academia to ensure coherent policies, aligned investments, and a skilled workforce.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are witnessing the rebirth of the IIR, more relevant than ever, more united than ever,&#8221; said <b>Prof. Min-Soo Kim<\/b>, President of the IIR General Conference.<\/p>\n<p> <span id=\"spanHghlt8d29\">The Paris event also featured key intervention from Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol which emphasised on the importance of considering sustainable cooling actions through sectoral approaches and maximise the benefits from early action in emerging sectors in developing countries and inline with the Kigali Amendment commitment, other key interventions also include those given by UNESCO, UNIDO, UNEP, WOAH, CCAC, World Bank IFC, GIZ Proklima, FAO and BSRIA.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The IIR&#8217;s announcement of the launch of the <b>Global Refrigeration Outlook<\/b>, IIR&#8217;s new flagship report series to guide policy, science, and finance, was well received and appreciated by participants.<\/p>\n<p> <span id=\"spanHghlt2641\">Industry&nbsp;<\/span>leaders, including <b>Carrier Transicold, Chereau, Daikin Europe, Danfoss Climate Solutions, CIMCO Refrigeration and Sofrigam, Mayekawa and Climalife, <\/b>showcased scalable innovations applying natural refrigerants, thermal integration, innovative cold chains and heat pumps solutions.
