Summary
The report highlights the critical need for sustainable cooling to address health, food security, and economic risks affecting billions of people. It identifies a cooling gap impacting approximately 1.1 billion people in extreme heat, while noting that 2.3 billion low-to-middle-income individuals risk driving climate disasters by adopting low-efficiency cooling products. The document advocates for a coordinated approach integrating the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and the Kigali Amendment to promote high-efficiency technologies, passive cooling, and innovative business models.
Key insights
- Extreme heat causes significant economic losses; by 2050, labor hour losses due to heat are projected to reach 2% globally, and up to 12% in severely affected regions like South Asia and West Africa, potentially reducing global GDP growth by over 50% over 30 years.
