How is cooling adapting to rising ambient temperatures? This week saw the hottest day of the year in some parts of the UK, and it's a stark reminder of the challenges facing the RACHP industry. As global temperatures rise, our sector is under increasing pressure to adapt, mitigate and innovate. Are we preparing for what's ahead? What are the challenges and opportunities as this ever-warming world places more demands on refrigeration and cooling? Join the conversation at the IIR International Conference on the Role of Refrigeration in Adapting to Rising Ambient Temperatures, taking place from 10 to 12 August 2025 in Manchester, UK. This being organised by the IOR will bring together researchers and innovators globally to explore solutions.

The Clean Cooling network would like to invite IOR members to join Dr Tim Fox (lead author), to explore the report which highlights the essential need for cooling as critical infrastructure. The Hot Reality: Living in a 50°C World Clean Cooling on 22nd August online. The recent increase in severe and frequent heatwaves due to rising temperatures will have significant and disastrous consequences, impacting all liveable aspects of life on Earth. A viable solution needs to address our survival and the quality of every aspect of our local and global environment. Clean Cooling, a term coined by the Centre for Sustainable Cooling, aims to create resilient and futureproofed cooling infrastructure, considering global goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change mitigation. For clean cooling to be effective, the consequence of a future without clean cooling as critical infrastructure needs to be highlighted: food insecurity, ineffective health systems, and negative impacts on; productivity, data, and safety therefore increasing the demand for cooling. Clean Cooling takes a holistic approach to implementing infrastructure considering accessibility, affordability, financial sustainability, scalability, safety, and reliability to help deliver societal, economic, and health goals. https://lnkd.in/dVV5Srtn

The Incredible Impact of Lord Kelvin – not just a temperature scale - helping us to understand the age of the planet and the end of the universe. #tbt to our fascinating, fact filled and lively discussions with science broadcasters Alok Jha and Helen Czerski for the IOR’s World Refrigeration Day (26 June) celebrations. Our speakers explored the incredible legacy of Lord Kelvin and how through the Laws of Thermodynamics his influence extends not only to the development of mechanical refrigeration but to whole concepts of conservation of energy and how energy moves.
