Cooling as a critical strategy for climate adaption Really pleased to publish our report - The Hot Reality: Living in a 50°C World exploring the role of cooling in adapting to rising ambient temperatures and strategies to build resilience sustainably.  With more than a year of research and debate, workshops and high-level roundtables, and contributions from more than 35 subject matter experts around the globe, the report shows why governments and policy makers need to recognise cooling as critical national infrastructure (CNI) if we are to build resilience to the impact of climate change. It includes a first set of key recommendations for government, industry and academia. As a living programme - and key pillar of our work, especially in India and Africa as well as UK and Europe -  looking forward to discussing the findings, recommendations and building further exchange of insights at the IMECHE this afternoon with two events. Further international events planned for later this year. Big thank you to Tim Fox and all the contributors and peer reviewers for making this project possible and launching it with such an in-depth body of work. news story - https://lnkd.in/gVGEAjkx reports - https://lnkd.in/gDw_bPM8

Launch of New International Conference The Institute of Refrigeration is organising the 1st IIR International Conference On The Role Of Refrigeration In Adapting To Rising Ambient Temperatures. This international research conference will be held from 10 to 12 August 2025 at the University of Manchester in the UK. It will explore the critical role for refrigeration in adapting to rising ambient temperatures and support the exchange of innovative solutions amongst experts in resilience.

Listen to Professor Graeme Maidment on BBC Radio 4's Test of Time programme exploring some of the earliest methods for surviving hot climates, and whether they offer us solutions today. This fascinating episode looks at ancient Egypt. Graeme Maidment is a leading academic expert from our Heating and Cooling Research Group https://lnkd.in/g-VRaM22

The Institute of Refrigeration has been invited to take part in an industry round table discussion as part of this event. Looking forward to sharing how cooling experts from the IOR can contribute to this important work to recognise refrigeration as part of the critical national infrastructure to address climate change. Would welcome input from IOR members on their thoughts on priorities - read the IOR paper published as part of the Environment Audit Committee inquiry into Extreme Heat and Sustainable Cooling earlier this year at https://lnkd.in/gPz9Ma-e #refrigeration #rachp #sustainablecooling #extremeheat #adaptation2025
