I warmly greet the global refrigeration and air conditioning community on World Refrigeration Day.
As we celebrate the indispensable role of cooling in health, food security, comfort, and productivity, it is equally important to recognize the people behind the systems — our Trainers and Technicians — who keep this vital sector running efficiently and sustainably.
In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and rising environmental responsibilities, skilling, upskilling, and reskilling of RAC professionals is not just a priority — it is a necessity. Empowering trainers and technicians with modern knowledge, climate-friendly practices, and energy-efficient technologies ensures that we are building a future-ready workforce, aligned with global sustainable development goals.
Let us reaffirm our collective commitment to inclusive and continuous capacity building. Together, we can foster a culture of excellence, safety, and sustainability across the cooling value chain.
Skilled people. Sustainable cooling. A better tomorrow.
Happy World Refrigeration Day!
