This workshop will contribute to fulfilling the recommendations of the Caribbean Network Meeting held in June 2024 when Countries voiced an emerging concern pertaining to the implementation of their HPMPs, and HFC phase-down phase under the Kigali Amendment. Countries in the Region face an aging Refrigeration Servicing Sector (RSS) where mature RAC Technicians are increasingly retiring from the RSS, creating unfilled gaps.
Through the Twinning workshop, the Caribbean countries will be able to advance energy-efficiency considerations in the Montreal Protocol implementation, including further Kigali HFC Implementation Pan (KIP) strategies.
The Thematic Network Meeting, UNEP will assist Caribbean Region Countries with implementing their HCFC phase-out, sustaining ozone-depleting substances (ODS) phase-out targets already met, preparing for the 2025 target and the total phase-out and promoting intraregional exchange to further the work being done for the phase down of HFCs under the Kigali Amendment.
Through the Pilot Training, the capacity of National Advanced Montreal Protocol Officers will be strengthened so they can effectively adjust their national Montreal Protocol compliance programmes to respond to the Kigali Amendment and incorporate energy-efficiency considerations into the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector.
This workshop for Women in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning sector explores initiatives to mainstream gender nationally and regionally and create an enabling environment for greater participation of women in the HCFC phase-out and HFC phase-down.
