Sustainable cooling must become global political priority: UN report
New findings argue that efforts to decarbonise cold chains and the cooling of buildings must not be viewed as a luxury, but as a vital part of green economic recovery plans around the world
A programme to retrofit buildings with passive or more efficient cooling should be prioritised by governments as part of their Covid economic recovery plans, a UN-backed strategy argues.
The calls have been made during a special online event hosted by the UN-backed Cool Coalition initiative and E3G thinktank to launch a new report looking at how sustainable cooling can be integrated into national and global responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
