Secretary of the U.N. 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.

"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."
