The objective of the meeting is to discuss restrictions on import and use of refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) equipment with high GWP and / or poor efficiency, and related enforcement mechanisms. Based on the discussion, ECA might consider related legislative and policy measures to enhance the HFC phase-down and energy-efficiency.
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.
