(Elementary clorine Free) Antonio Rossetti, Silvia Minetto, Sergio Marinetti - Construction Technologies Institute, CNR Padova, Italy pag FOREWORDS 2018:mod 2002 8-10-2018 18:08 Pagina 1 FOREWORDS Italy strongly believes that climate change is a global challenge and thus needs a global response. Strong scientific evidence presented in many recent reports points to the acceleration of climate change and this leads to the unprecedented urgency to implement global efforts to halt and reverse climate change in all regions. The forthcoming publication of the IPCC Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C is likely to present new evidence on the negative impacts of climate change on human societies and natural systems, including impacts on health, livelihood, food, water as well as human security. After the historic success in Paris in 2015, this December in Katowice we all will be called to confirm our commitment to the fight against climate change by adopting a common and comprehensive set of rules (“rulebook”) applicable to all Parties that will finally operationalize the Agreement. We will do our utmost to craft a robust and balance outcome at COP24 to help us to achieve the purpose and the long-term goals set in Paris. Since leaders announced their pledges in Paris during COP21, Italy and the rest of EU Member States have accelerated domestic action to deliver on the Paris Agreement long-term goals, while continuing to successfully decouple economic growth from GHG emissions. Italy acknowledges particular attention to the international cooperation aimed at strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change by both reducing emissions and adapting to climate change. Specific attention is devoted to the least developed and most vulnerable countries where our priority is to enhance the capacity to respond to climate change. This is why we are undertaking continuous efforts to scale-up our international climate finance to support mitigation and adaptation actions, to facilitate access to climate finance, to provide capacity building and technology transfer to help meet the Paris agreement obligations and achieve its long- term goals. In the provision of public financial resources, we have worked and continue to work to strike a fair balance between mitigation and adaptation support. Special focus is on Africa, with Sahel at upfront, and the small islands in the Pacific and in the Caribbean. We will soon open, in partnership with FAO and UNDP, the African Centre for Climate and Sustainable Development in Rome and we are considering similar initiative for the other regions. We are also working in the context of numerous bilateral agreement to support the implementation of the NDC’s in these areas. Concerning energy efficiency in refrigeration and air conditioning, Italy will accelerate its way to ratify the Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol in time for its entry into force on 1th January 2019. In line with its international obligations, the Ministry for the Environment will continue to ensure the contribution of Italy to the Multilateral Fund for the implementation of the Montreal Protocol (MLF), the global financial mechanism that supports developing countries in complying with the reduction targets by means of projects including industrial conversion, technical assistance, training and capacity building. To this aim, within the MLF rules which allows to allocate up to 20% of the yearly obligatory contribution for bilateral cooperation, Italy is also supporting a number of developing countries’ national plans to eliminate ozone- depleting substances with the aim to avoid conversion to HFCs and “leapfrog” directly to more climate-friendly alternatives, including Argentina, China, Iran, Brazil, Mexico, Ghana and Nigeria.

  • First World Refrigeration Day Focuses on Safe Refrigerant Use LONDON
    First World Refrigeration Day Focuses on Safe Refrigerant Use LONDON/PARIS/ATLANTA, 26 June 2019 – Refrigerants are all around us, and modern life depends on them. They are found in homes, cars, factories, offices, hospitals, anywhere where food and medicine need to be preserved, where data needs to be maintained, products manufactured, and where people expect comfort. With some 5.6 billion air conditioners projected to be in use by 2050, some 700 million air- conditioned vehicles on the road today, 600 million cubic meters of refrigerated food storage facilities, and more than 2 billion refrigerators and freezers, the energy and environmental impacts of refrigeration and air conditioning are huge. With proper maintenance, replacement of older equipment and proper use of refrigerants, these impacts can be mitigated. To recognize the vital contributions of air conditioning and refrigeration to modern life, organizations worldwide are celebrating, for the first time, World Refrigeration Day on 26 June 2019. Together, these organizations represent more than 1 million government officials, engineers, scientists, technicians and plant operators worldwide. The American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the UN Environment’s OzonAction Branch, are working with the World Refrigeration Day Secretariat to provide information and tools that bring awareness to the benefits of new technologies and which promote the safe and responsible use of refrigerants, the life blood of all cooling systems. #Refrigerants4Life is being used by the organizers to communicate the benefits and safe use of these chemicals, which are essential for modern life. “World Refrigeration Day raises awareness of the important contribution that refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps make globally across so many aspects of modern life – from medical, to food supply and farming, process engineering to data and IT,” said Stephen Gill, the chair of World Refrigeration Day Secretariat.

The annual UIT Conference, which has grown over time, is held in Padova for the first time. The scope of the conference covers a range of many topics in theoretical, numerical and experimental heat transfer and related areas, ranging from energy efficiency to nuclear plants. This year the UIT Conference includes an International Symposium on “Refrigerants: heat transfer and applications”. This Symposium will be held on June 26, 2019, which is the first World Refrigeration Day and is organized in collaboration with CNR, Istituto per le Tecnologie della Costruzione. In this conference edition, 99 papers were contributed plus 3 keynote lectures and 5 invited lectures. We hope this conference will be a useful occasion to stimulate discussion, improve the understanding of heat transfer and related phenomena, present the state of the art of some topics, discuss emerging trends and promote collaborations.
