GFCCC-UNEP OzonAction Cold Chain Database; an initiative towards sustainable cold chain

In addressing the needs of the cold chain sector in a country, it is important to establish a thorough analysis of local cold chain capacities and operations. UNEP OzonAction and GFCCC cooperate to offer an overarching methodology to quantify stocks and to understand gaps and project scenarios of food loss and GHG emissions. A comprehensive assessment methodology captures information about technologies, refrigerants, food loss, energy, economics, and operation practices.

The Cold Chain Database is a model to quantify stocks, understand gaps and project scenarios of the cold chain applications at different cold chain processes through a comprehensive assessment methodology and a thorough data collection approach that captures information about technologies, refrigerants, food loss, energy, economics, and operation practices.
