Global access to cooling gaps and 2030 forecast
Summary
This document is a chapter from the 'Chilling Prospects 2022' report by Sustainable Energy for All, which analyzes global gaps in access to cooling and provides forecasts for 2030 based on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) scenarios.
Key insights
- The 2022 analysis identifies that 166.3 million people are estimated to be at risk due to a lack of access to affordable and sustainable cooling solutions across 22 countries that are not classified as high-impact but contain regions with extreme heat hazards.
- The report asserts that achieving universal electricity access (SDG7.1.1) and the eradication of extreme poverty (SDG1.1) by 2030 are critical factors in reducing the population at high risk from a lack of cooling access.
- The analysis examines cooling-access gaps specifically among 54 high-impact countries and high-temperature regions within 22 countries not considered high impact.
