Summer Camp Ozone Awareness

The National Ozone Unit continued its public awareness with lectures both virtual and in person on ozone layer depletion and ozone friendly practices at several summer camps.

The Air-con­di­tio­n­ing & Ref­ri­ge­ra­ti­on In­dus­try As­so­cia­ti­on (ARIA) of Tri­ni­dad and Tobago Joins the Green Cooling Network

Congratulations to the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Association of Trinidad and Tobago on becoming a member of the Green Cooling Network. The Green Cooling Network is an alliance of key stakeholders in the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector which focus on the implementation of sustainable cooling, through collaboration on various projects and with prestigious partners that include twenty-nine National Ozone Units.  It functions with the objective to facilitate sector transformation towards green cooling technologies by leapfrogging from ozone depleting substances to climate and ozone friendly refrigerant. Within the Latin American and Caribbean Region, members of the Green Cooling Network include, Grenada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Bolivia.  Over the last ten (10) years this Network has supported:

 ·         Cooling Sector Green House Gas Inventories;

·         Green Cooling Technology Pilots;

·         Technician Training and Certification; and

·         Access to climate financing schemes. 

The Green Cooling Initiative, part of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) Proklima, is a project supported and funded by the German Government, in particular the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conversation and Nuclear Safety and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. It provides green cooling network members with information, advice and collaboration opportunities to enhance engagement with green sustainable cooling. It further allows members to work together on science, policy, finance and technology to meet growing demands for cooling in a comprehensive manner, all aimed at raising climate ambition in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals, while complimenting the goals of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and Paris Climate Agreement.
