Mitigation requires transitioning to natural refrigerants, enforcing energy-efficiency standards and safe disposal, improving building design to lower cooling demand, and implementing refrigerant phasedown and end-of-life controls. en-us Wed, 23 Apr 2025 09:10:53 +0530 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 09:10:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=14194 Air conditioners and refrigerators drive climate impacts via refrigerant leakage of potent HFCs, lifecycle emissions from manufacture and disposal, and indirect CO2 from high electricity demand; widespread cooling use also intensifies urban heat islands.
