Clever cooling vs. global warming Refrigerants, Naturally! is a global initiative of companies taking action to combat climate change by replacing fluorinated gases in refrigeration equipment with climate friendly natural refrigerants. Replacing F-gases only with natural refrigerants, including ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons, particularly in point-of-sale refrigeration equipment Member companies have collectively placed on the market more than 2.5 million HFC-free refrigeration units and avoided more than 1 million tonnes of emissions in CO2-eq

Decision XXV/5 Montreal Protocol Parties requested the Technology & Economic Assessment Panel to: •Prepare a report on alternatives to ODS in various sectors, for developing and developed countries •Estimate current and future demand for alternatives •Assess the economic costs and implications, and environmental benefits of various scenarios of avoiding high-GWP alternatives to ODS •Convene HFC Management Workshop (11-12 July, Paris) back to back with 34th Open-ended Working Group

- What is the CCAC? The CCAC is a voluntary, non-legally binding partnership. CCAC aims at bringing together many diverse, experienced, and influential players around the world to leverage high-level engagement and political will to catalyze concrete and substantial action to accelerate efforts to reduce SLCPs. The CCAC is a voluntary, non-legally binding partnership. 10 fold increase in Partnership since its launch. It is important to note that the Coalition is as much about climate as it is about health and agricultural productivity and ecosystem protection. Indeed, one key aspect of the Coalition is that it is looking at supporting and bringing together existing efforts. Not trying to reinvent the wheel, rather looking at what is there, what is missing and how can we help to scale up and accelerate existing efforts and catalyse new action. Another key aspect is the fact that all Partners in the Coalition recognize that its work is complementary to global efforts to reduce CO2 in particular under UNFCCC. Rapid implementation of SLCP mitigation measures together with measures to reduce CO2 emissions, would greatly improve the chances of keeping the Earth’s temperature increase to less than 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels in the near term. However, SLCP mitigation does not “buy us” any time to start making the deep cuts in CO2 emissions which are urgently needed to limit increase in global temperatures and protect the climate system in the long run.
