The IEA’s Technology Collaboration Programme on Heat Pumping Technologies (HPT TCP by IEA), Global Alliance for Building and Construction’s (ABC’s) Clean Heat Forum, and Mission Innovation’s Innovation Community on Affordable Heating and Cooling of Buildings (MI#IC7) will host this session that will present on innovative technology and policy solutions that aim to reduce emissions from the heating sector worldwide. Learn 
how technologies like the breakthrough Comfort and Climate Box (CCB) can meet heating and cooling needs and be deployed at scale, and how national and subnational governments are developing technology, financial, and energy policies supporting the rapid deployment of clean heating.
The United States Department of Energy has named 2022 the Year of Implementation because it is a pivotal year for the fast action required to deliver on global climate and clean energy ambition. The first ever Global Clean Energy Action Forum, is a joint convening of the 13th Clean Energy Ministerial and 7th Mission Innovation ministerial that will take place on September 21-22 in Pittsburgh, US, and seek to deliver on that mission through high-level plenaries, topical roundtables, side events, technology demonstrations, and other activities. These discussions will include partners in the private sector, academia, innovators, civil society, youth and communities everywhere.
The side events will take place at the event’s main venue, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center (DLCC) in Pittsburgh, US, on Day 2 (Thursday, September 22) and Day 3 (Friday, September 23).
This side event about “Innovation and policy measures to solve the global heating challenge” will take place in the Side Event Room 308 on Day 2, September 22, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM.
