'Cool Talk' webinar on Taxonomies for Financing Efficient Consumer Appliances
18 May from 14:00 CEST / 08:00 EDT onwards.

represents a major investment opportunity, yet cooling is rarely tracked as a distinct investment category. This session will explore how cooling can be positioned as an identifiable and financeable asset class, with a focus on consumer appliances.

Drawing on the India experience, speakers will discuss how use-of-proceeds taxonomies, technical standards and financial products can help unlock investment in efficient cooling, refrigerators, fans and other energy-efficient appliances.
