Environment Programme Ozone Secretariat Tina Birmpili, following the roundtable discussion on food loss and waste at the 31st Meeting of the Parties of the Montreal Protocol, at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters in Rome, Italy. In addition, he explained how technology exists today, which can be accessible in an affordable way to strengthen cold chains and in turn help people and the planet, even in the most challenging environments. Carrier was among roundtable participants that signed the "Rome Declaration on the Contribution of the Montreal Protocol to Food Loss Reduction through Sustainable Cold Chain Development." The declaration stresses the importance of pursuing international cooperation and promoting the exchange of information on the contribution of the cold chain to sustainable development. "Carrier is proud to play an important role in helping to preserve, protect and extend the world's food and pharmaceuticals supply," Appel said. w "There is a clear connection between food waste and climate change. In fact, if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions after China and the U.S. Additionally, more than 50% of all perishable food waste today could be avoided by simply using cold chain technology. Yet, only 15% of perishable food produced worldwide is actually refrigerated." – David Appel, president, Carrier Transicold & Refrigeration Systems Carrier at United Nations cont'd
