Brazil

United for Efficiency supports Brazil’s policymakers and regulators in advancing policies, strategies and actions for the phase-out of inefficient refrigeration products.

The project promotes an integrated policy approach to support the transition to energy-efficient and climate-friendly refrigeration technologies, ensuring that market transformation can be sustained over time by the domestic market without continued external support.
