Proklima advises the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development

Policy advice, capacity building, awareness raising, and knowledge transfer are in the centre of Proklima’s activities. On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the project supports the German government in all bilateral and multilateral processes related to the Montreal Protocol.

Proklima supports the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through technical and policy advice and participates in meetings and conferences of the Montreal Protocol such as the Meeting of the Parties (MOP), the Open Ended Working Group (OEWG) and ExCom. Through publications and events, it informs both the professional audience and the general public about latest developments on sustainable cooling and future-friendly natural refrigerants. One of its lighthouse activities is the "Cool Training" course about the save handling of natural refrigerants for trainers, technicians and policy makers from around the world. It is offered several times a year in cooperation with the professional training institute Bundesfachschule Kälte-Klima-Technik (BFS) in Germany.

Providing climate-friendly (based on natural refrigerants) and energy-efficient cooling solutions is a key to protecting the climate and catering to people’s vital needs around the world. It’s what makes Green Cooling so important – and where the GIZ program develoPPP.de comes into play.

develoPPP.de (opens in a new window)was set up over 20 years ago to foster the involvement of the private sector in areas where business opportunities and development policy initiatives overlap. To this end, the programme offers financial and technical support for companies that want to do business or have already begun operating in developing and emerging economies.

In­fo book­let

Read more information about the process, the application criteria and two case studies of how Green Cooling projects could look like.

The Green Cooling Initiative (as part of GIZ Proklima) wants to specifically encourage actors in the cooling sector, such as manufacturers and end users of cooling equipment, to submit their project ideas.
