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

The report highlights the rising global demand for cooling services due to increasing temperatures and economic growth, noting that cooling currently accounts for over 7 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. It asserts that without management, this figure will double by 2050, but adopting climate-friendly cooling could reduce global emissions by an amount equivalent to eight years of current output by 2050.

• Global demand for cooling services is increasing due to rising temperatures, economic growth, and a higher frequency of heat waves and extreme weather events.
• Cooling currently contributes more than 7 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a figure that is expected to double by 2050 if not managed.
• The implementation of climate-friendly cooling has the potential to reduce global emissions by an amount equivalent to eight years of emissions by 2050.
