First Meeting of Sustainable Cold Chain Partnership | Estateplanning

The first meeting of the Sustainable Cold Chain Partnership marked a significant milestone in the quest for environmentally friendly cold chain solutions. Held on February 10, 2022, at the headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Nairobi, Kenya, this inaugural meeting brought together key stakeholders from the cold chain industry, including logistics giants like DHL and Maersk, as well as representatives from governments and non-profit organizations. The partnership aims to reduce the carbon footprint of cold chain operations, which are crucial for the transportation of perishable goods such as food and pharmaceuticals. With the global cold chain market projected to reach $293.27 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.8%, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more pressing. The meeting saw the participation of over 50 delegates from 20 countries, including experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, food security, and public health, the Sustainable Cold Chain Partnership is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of cold chain logistics. With its focus on innovation, collaboration, and sustainability, this partnership has the potential to make a significant impact on the environment and the lives of people around the world.
