This year's campaign theme “Cooling Champions: Cool Careers for a Better World” is being organized jointly by WRD Secretariat, UNEP OzonAction, IIR, ASHRAE, ISHRAE, FAIAR, EPEE, and U-3ARC. The campaign includes a series of webinars around particular topics that partners agreed upon about the need to bring more attention to career opportunities in areas that are commonly overlooked or not receiving adequate attention when it comes to careers and business opportunities including Refrigerant Management, Cold Chain, Not-in-Kind technologies, Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), Heat Pumps, Data Centers, and the role of women in Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC).

UNEP OzonAction will be organizing two international webinars as follows:
