UK cold chain trade body The Cold Chain Federation (CCF) has announced three keynote speakers for the Cold Chain Climate Summit 2024, which will return on Wednesday 13th March 2024 at Warwick University’s The Slate Conference Centre.
The three keynote speakers are Georgios Tetradis-Mairis, head of R&D futures at Nomad Foods; Dr Chloe Brimicombe, climate scientist at the University of Graz, Austria; and Dr Tim Fox, independent consultant in climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Cold chain logistics professionals, sustainability-focussed suppliers from the UK and beyond, Government officials and academics will attend the Summit. Speakers, panellists and delegates will explore the key issues, challenges and opportunities for the cold chain in responding to and preparing for net zero.
The event’s morning sessions will focus on climate resilience and the cold chain, and the afternoon session will explore the potential for reviewing temperature setpoints to save energy across the cold chain.
CCF executive director Tom Southall said: “Climate change will not only have a significant effect on the way the UK cold chain operates, but it will also change the requirements of our customers and the policy and regulation placed upon us by future Governments.
“Our industry’s need for this event is evident. With more than 200 cold chain professionals expected to come together in March to share knowledge and sustainability risks, adaptations and innovations, I am delighted that we will be joined by a stellar cast of speakers and panellists to help us plot the route to a sustainable cold chain.”
