UNEP was also a supporter of Eurovent Middle East’s 5^th Anniversary Congress in Dubai and continues a close exchange of activities in the Middle East to further actions on sustainability.

Eurovent is an ally of World Refrigeration Day, an international awareness campaign established to raise the profile of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector. It focuses its attention on the significant role that the industry and its technologies play in modern life and society. It draws attention to the wonderful engineering and science that is all around us every day, at the very heart of modern life. It enables people to live, travel and work comfortably. It further creates comfortable indoor environments, saves lives and enables people to achieve.

The inaugural World Refrigeration Day incorporating World Heatpumps Day on 26 June 2019 was an immediate monumental international success and has since been held annually on the same date.
