The IIR states refrigeration is present in most areas of human activity and is absolutely necessary for life. The Institute defines its goals and actions by working towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
According to the report, its purpose is to disseminate information, contribute to the intensification of scientific and technical exchanges and encourage research and development towards sustainability in this sector. The aim is to deploy these technologies around the world for the benefit of humanity, as well as to improve existing technologies to address the threats of environmental damage and resource depletion.
