Asia Group Seminar
on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management
Asia Group Seminar
on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management
The Asia Group Seminar on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management has been convened since 2021 by the MOEJ.
In August 2024, the MOEJ, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) co-organized the Seminar to share updates of Lifecycle Refrigerant Management (LRM)’s policy, technical and financial aspects, convening approximately 100 participants on site and online, from various Asian countries and others.
