NEW YORK — On July 16, 2018, John Galyen, president of Danfoss North America, joined a global panel at the United Nations in New York to discuss the first-ever report to quantify the growing risks and assess the opportunities of the global cooling challenge, which was developed with contributions from the Global Panel on Access to Cooling. Conclusions of the report include the important role of industry to solve growing cooling demand in a sustainable way, by thinking more holistically about heating and cooling and deploy the most efficient existing technology and develop new, innovative solutions for the most vulnerable.
Cooling is an essential need in everyone´s modern daily life. In an increasingly warming world, the impact of not having access to modern cooling solutions is profound. Deploying the most efficient, best-in-class technology brings huge environmental and socio-economic benefits, by responding to the growing cooling demand and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, creating sustainable, efficient cold chains can reduce food loss and keep vital medicine stored safely.
