The objective of the project is to foster sustainable development of the RAC sector by strengthening the competence of key actors and improving related structures. C4 II adapts existing methodologies and develops new tools for replication in other countries, promoting the transformation towards sustainable cooling. Increased ambition triggered by sector specific NDC implementation plans is expected to unlock enormous GHG reduction potential.

 

With the successful completion of two major projects, Grenada’s RAC (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning) sector has undergone an impressive transformation towards sustainable, climate-friendly cooling. These initiatives have strengthened the capacities of key actors and improved sector-related structures, laying the foundation for long-term sustainable development.

At the closing event, our GIZ colleagues came together with key political partners and stakeholders to celebrate the achievements of both projects and the strong collaboration that made them possible. Once again, the event highlighted the importance of reliable partnerships and long-term engagement for lasting impact.

We are especially grateful for the close and constructive cooperation with our political partner, the National Ozone Unit in Grenada, and for the generous financial support provided by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV).

Building on this momentum, the follow-up project C4 II continues to drive sectoral transformation. It adapts proven methodologies and develops new tools to support replication in other countries, further promoting the shift towards sustainable cooling. Increased ambition triggered by sector-specific NDC implementation plans is expected to unlock enormous greenhouse gas reduction potential.
