Publication dateObjectiveSectorsCross-sectoral enablerA nivel mundial, millones de equipos de refrigeración y aire acondicionado se convierten en desechos electrónicos cada año, lo que representa una amenaza para el medio ambiente. La Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH en colaboración con el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible de Colombia (MADS), ha preparado una guía para el desensamble manual de refrigeradores y equipos de aire acondicionado. La guía está dirigida a las empresas dedicadas a la gestión de residuos eléctricos y electrónicos y a las autoridades ambientales.

Publication dateObjectiveSectorsThe inadequate disposal of old, faulty air conditioners and refrigerators poses a considerable threat to the environment. In recognizing this issue, CTCN Consortium partner GIZ, together with the Colombian partner ministry,has published a guideline which illustrates how to appropriately dismantle cooling appliances. The publication addresses waste disposal companies and environmental ministries.

SectorsObjectiveCooling is becoming a rapidly emerging demand in developing countries, which signifies that the building design and shell measures need to reduce cooling loads, and the efficiency of air-conditioning will need to be improved. Air conditioning systems are implemented in numerous sectors, namely buildings, industry and transport. They are distinguished in two main categories, room air conditioners and central air conditioners.

Publication dateObjectiveApproach
Since the Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997, several ‘carbon markets’ have emerged. These enable governments to trade carbon credits and meet Kyoto targets. A voluntary market has also appeared, in which organisations and individuals can offset their greenhouse gas emissions by preventing a similar amount of gases being released elsewhere.Research from the
International Institute for Environment and Development, UK, examines whether
voluntary carbon markets can provide a new source of funding for sustainable
development.
