Dear Green Cooling community,

In this newsletter, we look back to successfull Cool Trainings of the past months and to our side events at the Open Ended Working Group (OEWG) meeting of the Montreal Protocol.

We also look forward to our upcoming events: Cool Training webinars and European Climate Dialouges in September and the Green Cooling Summit in October. 

Thank you for your valued cooperation and trust. We would especially like to express our gratitude to our commissioners without whom our project work would not be possible: the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), and the European Union (EU).

Enjoy reading & stay naturally cool,


Bernhard Siegele
