CCN India team to join Cool World conference

18th Aug 2025

Representatives from the CCN team for India will join the international “Cool World: Sustainable Cold-Chain for the Global South” conference in October to discuss the programme’s plans.

Foundation in Cold-Chain Student

The Foundation in Cold-Chain course opened my eyes to the vital role that energy-efficient, sustainable cold-chains play in reducing post-harvest losses, improving food security, and strengthening Rwanda’s agri-food systems.

Train the Trainer Student

Thanks to ACES, I am more equipped to drive sustainable transformation in Rwanda’s agriculture sector. I highly encourage other professionals to join these life-changing programmes.

Events & Webinars

Exclusive lectures and workshops from the Clean Cooling team and partners.

Conference - A Cool World

Clean cooling and cold-chain systems are pivotal to sustainable development, food and health security, and economic prosperity - particularly in the Global South. Yet, despite the critical urgency, clean cooling and cold-chain solutions are neither being financed nor implemented at the required scale or in a holistic and inclusive manner on-the-ground.
