COOLING FOR ALL NEEDS ASSESSMENT SCORECARD

The Cooling for All Needs Assessment Scorecard is a tool designed to measure access to cooling through specific guiding questions and indicators. It focuses on three key areas: human comfort and safety (addressing heat stress and productivity), food and nutrition security (focusing on agricultural incomes, diet, and cold chain food loss), and health services (evaluating vaccine programs and the security of medical cold chains). The scorecard allows users to track baseline and latest values to determine trends and ratings.

• The scorecard assesses human comfort and safety by evaluating whether populations have access to space and mobility cooling sufficient to maintain safety and productivity in homes, educational settings, work environments, and during transit.
• For food, nutrition security, and agriculture, the framework examines the sufficiency of income for agricultural and fishery workers, the accessibility of affordable and nutritious diets, and the volume of food loss and waste throughout the cold chain.
• The health services assessment focuses on the effectiveness of national vaccine programs, the reliability of the unbroken cold chain for medicines and healthcare products during normal and disaster scenarios, and the cooling capacity of health infrastructure.
