[...] implemented country actions and activities on Action on cooling will deliver on a complex set of issues, including the potential to mitigate climate change (by reducing the growth in cooling-related GHG emissions), the urgency of identifying measures to adapt to rising extreme heat, the goals of equity and access to cooling for all, and achievement of the SDGs. [...] It calculates both the direct emissions the Best Cooling Measures scenario could reduce from refrigerants, emitted and leaked from cooling the overall growth in the cooling equipment stock equipment, and indirect emissions, released from by 24 per cent (up to 2050) without compromising the power generation required for operating the access to cooling, and it could save end users cooling equipment. [...] Based on the modelling results, 46 per cent of The Global Cooling Emissions Model explored the cooling capacity as of 2022 was installed three scenarios for growth in the cooling in developing countries (so-called Article 5 equipment stock: countries under the Montreal Protocol) and is expected to increase to 67 per cent by 2050. [...] Growth in the installed cooling capacity is fastest for residential space cooling equipment (it is expected to increase by a factor of three Jakarta, Indonesia between 2022 and 2050, whereas the cold chain The relationship between the installed cooling Photo: Dewi Karuniasih/ and non-residential space cooling are expected capacity and the annual energy consumption unsplash.com to grow by a factor.
