Customs Officers Training

The National Ozone Unit conducted sensitization of customs officer sharing pertaining information on topics relating to border control for substances controlled by the Montreal Protocol. Issues covered included the Montreal Protocol and ozone depletion, the national policy and regulatory framework for the Kigali Amendment, HS Codes relating the substances under the Montreal Protocol, the Ozone Depleting Substances License and Quota system, illegal trade and use of the refrigerant identifier.

Training for Female RAC Technicians on Digital Cooling

The Digital Tools in Cooling Project in Trinidad and Tobago, funded by the Government of Luxembourg and implemented through a partnership between the Government of the Republic  of Trinidad and Tobago and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), aims to promote smarter, more energy-efficient and climate-friendly cooling solutions within the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector. The project focuses on the use of digital and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to monitor and improve the performance of cooling systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen energy efficiency, and support Trinidad and Tobago’s commitments under the Montreal Protocol and the Paris Agreement.  A key component of the project is the delivery of training for female RAC technicians which took place on May 12 , equipping them with skills in digital cooling technologies, data analysis, remote diagnostics, and energy-efficient system management to foster greater inclusion and participation of women in the RAC industry.
