Role of Tertiary Institutions Main Meeting of Ozone Action Networks from Latin America and the Caribbean Role of Tertiary Institutions and Universities in HCFC Elimination Professor Gurmohan S. Kochhar The University of the West Indies St. Augustine Campus Trinidad and Tobago

American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment “We believe colleges and universities must exercise leadership…by modeling ways to minimize warming emissions, and by providing the knowledge and educated graduates…”

Challenges and Opportunities Three Main Actors in Tertiary Sector: Students Academics/Researchers/Educators Institutions

Student Centered Challenges Student Attitudes Curriculum Oversaturation

Student Centered Opportunities International Portability of Qualifications Better Suitability to new Industry Demands Over Discipline “Silo” Effect Students Better Prepared for ODS Elimination

Academic/Educator Centered Challenges Academics Have to Keep Current with R & D in ODS Elimination Inadequately Prepared Student Intake Reluctance to Interdisciplinary Teaching

Academic/Educator Centered Opportunities Interdisciplinary Approach Systems Approach to HCFC Phase Out Research Areas with Funding Opportunities Upgrade Personal Knowledge

Institution Centered Challenges Commitment of Adequate Resources Resistance to Change Non-Supportive Environment In-House Institutional Policy on HCFC Phase-Out

Institution Centered Opportunities Important R & D Opportunity Keeping Students on the Cutting Edge Funding Opportunities for Research Continuing Professional Development of Graduates

Recommendations Introduce Compulsory courses Elective Courses for Interdisciplinary Teaching Short Courses Targeting Graduates Training Courses for Service Personnel Training Courses for Government Inspectors e.g. Customs Officers Inter-University Collaboration Special research projects on New and Natural refrigerants Studies to Improve Refrigeration Efficiency

Conclusions Education is Critical for Capacity Building HCFC/ ODS Elimination Must be Integrated into the Curriculum Academic/Educators Must Acquire Requisite Knowledge Collaboration Among Latin American and Caribbean Universities and Research Institutions
