Chilling Prospects 2022: The role of National Cooling Action Plans in delivering the global environment agenda

The report 'Chilling Prospects 2022' examines the rising global demand for cooling services driven by temperature increases and economic growth, highlighting the environmental risks and the potential for climate-friendly cooling to reduce global emissions.

• Rising global temperatures, economic growth, and an increase in extreme weather events and heat waves are driving a higher demand for cooling services.
• Cooling services are critical for productivity, human comfort, and the preservation of vaccines, medicines, and food, yet they currently contribute over 7 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• If left unmanaged, GHG emissions from cooling are expected to double by 2050; however, adopting climate-friendly cooling could reduce global emissions by an amount equivalent to 8 years of emissions by 2050.
