On February 20-21, 2025, The Carbon Containment Lab—alongside its partners and supporters at the Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY), the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale (ISPS), Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council (SPLC), and Refrigerant Emissions Elimination Forum (REEF)—convened a high-impact group of industry experts, advocacy organizations, policymakers, and academic researchers at The Yale School of Management to collaborate on advancing the scale-up of lifecycle refrigerant management (LRM) practices.

This synthesis report provides an executive summary of the key action items to accelerate and scale up LRM that garnered the strongest consensus during the conference and are likely to gain the most momentum in the current political and industrial landscape, as compiled and prioritized by the Carbon Containment Lab team.
