This report shines a spotlight on cooling policy trends, technologies and investment opportunities to help close the gaps in access, affordability and information. It focuses not only on space cooling but also on cold chains for food and health. It undertakes, for the first time, modelling of the totality of emissions from cooling, both direct and indirect. It models cooling emissions across all sectors—including space cooling, cold chain and refrigeration, and transport globally—while considering cooling access needs and evaluating the benefits of a comprehensive approach and a pathway to near-zero emissions from cooling. The report looks at a 2022 baseline and provides projections and intervention scenarios to reduce emissions, while improving access, up to 2050. It also provides a status check and an overview of national policy and regulatory actions across all cooling sectors in 192 United Nations Member States.
