Global access to cooling gaps and 2030 forecast

The report identifies growing risks to people and the planet due to cooling access gaps, estimating that 166.3 million people in 22 non-high-impact countries with extreme heat hazards are at risk. It emphasizes that achieving universal electricity access and eradicating extreme poverty by 2030 is critical to reducing these risks, while linking progress in renewable energy and energy efficiency to climate action.

• In 22 countries not classified as high impact but containing regions with extreme heat hazards, approximately 166.3 million people are estimated to be at risk because they lack access to sustainable and affordable cooling solutions.
• The report asserts that the realization of equitable economies and just, inclusive clean energy transitions is dependent on the provision of sustainable cooling for all.
• Reducing the population at high risk from lack of cooling access depends on meeting 2030 targets for eradicating extreme poverty (SDG1.1) and achieving universal electricity access (SDG7.1.1).
