Green Cooling in updated NDCs: Are we embarking on an ambitious path or a journey into a cooling crisis? How to achieve more ambition with Green Cooling approaches

Green Cooling plays an essential part in achieving a net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) transition and ensuring sustainable development. Despite the considerable mitigation potential of the cooling sector, it has hardly been mentioned in the first round of NDCs of many countries or has even been completely ignored. The study assesses the current status of cooling sector integration in countries’ updated NDCs and seeks to clarify if there have been any changes or even increase of ambition compared to the first pledges. It further provides two country examples which demonstrate approaches for successful incorporation of the cooling sector in updated NDCs. The publication is available here .
