Taking place from 10 to 13 August 2025 in Manchester, UK, Adaptation 2025 will explore how RACHP design must adapt to the growing challenges posed by climate change. With global temperatures on the rise, this timely event brings together international experts to share knowledge, showcase innovation, and examine how the industry can respond to increasingly frequent extreme weather events.

Themed around risk management, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), and the future landscape of RACHP, the conference will feature a robust programme covering critical issues such as:

• Building resilient cold chains
• Managing heat in buildings and industrial processes
• Low-carbon innovation and net-zero strategies already in action.

In addition to almost 50 technical papers from around the world, the conference will offer five interactive workshops and one short course, which include sessions on unlocking hidden value from refrigeration data and using energy benchmarking to reduce costs and emissions.

Keynote speakers will highlight the urgency of sector-wide adaptation, including a compelling case for recognising cooling as critical infrastructure and an in-depth exploration of climate change impacts on the UK food system.

Talking about the programme, Andy Pearson FInstR, Chair of Adaptation 2025’s Organising Committee, said: “We have now completed the programme for the Adaptation conference, and it includes a great mix of keynote speakers, technical papers and side events. I am really looking forward to welcoming our international colleagues to Manchester, which is a fantastic venue for this event.  I hope to see you there in August.”
