We Will: Efficient, Climate-Friendly Cooling For All
The Cool Coalition has come together rapidly under the recognition that ensuring the transition to efficient, climate-friendly cooling for all is fundamental for climate action and sustainable development.
Pillars of Action
The Cool Coalition has come together rapidly under the recognition that ensuring the transition to efficient, climate-friendly cooling for all is fundamental for climate action and sustainable development.
Together with its partners, the Cool Coalition works around three key pillars to accelerate the global transition to efficient and climate-friendly cooling:
- Advocacy: Highlighting benefits and opportunities of efficient, climate friendly cooling.
- Action: Mobilizing commitments to action and targets from leaders in government, business, and civil society and connecting these to global policy processes.
- Knowledge Exchange: Building an active learning community that breaks down silos and promotes cross-cutting approaches.
Working Groups
The core of the Cool Coalition’s work is driven by members-led working groups. Since September 2019, Coalition members have created 10 working groups on priority intervention areas in the cooling sector.
National Cooling
Action Plans
Action Plans
We develop comprehensive methodologies, templates and tools for NCAP development, support country development, training and implementation.
Urban Heat
Adaptation
Adaptation
We support cities take comprehensive action to combat extreme heat, develop guidance and tools, training and advocacy efforts.
Sustainable
Cold Chains
Cold Chains
We accelerate sustainable cold chains development by creating new knowledge, tools, trainings and high-level advocacy.
Cooling
Finance
Finance
We enhance strategic understanding of cooling of financial institutions and drive efforts to increase countries’ access to finance for cooling action.
Used Cooling
Imports in Africa
Imports in Africa
We coordinate action to fight the illegal import of used product imports through advocacy, policy support, awareness raising.
Global Cooling
Stocktake
Stocktake
We develop a global status check of implemented country actions and new opportunities, and how far the world is from being on track to a net zero cooling pathway.
Nature Based Solutions
for Cooling
for Cooling
We increase knowledge and awareness by collecting case studies and best practices, contributing to trainings, tools and reports.
Private Sector
Mobilization
Mobilization
We coordinate private-sector engagement with the Coalition, provide inputs, in-kind support, create tools for accelerated decarbonisation efforts.
Renewable Energy
Cooling
Cooling
We seek to accelerate the shift to renewable-energy driven cooling by raising awareness, increase knowledge, exchange best practices.
Passive Cooling
We facilitate international collaboration by promoting passive cooling strategies and improving thermal comfort in heat-stressed countries through case study collection, best practice dissemination, knowledge product development, capacity building, and comprehensive trainings, tools, and reports.
Cooling Refrigeration Emissions and Energy Data (CREED)
To map progress that is being made globally towards sustainable cooling, we evaluate gaps and existing resources to enable countries to evaluate their cooling emissions and energy consumption.
Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS)
We unite key organizations and countries to advance the setting and updating of MEPS and public procurement specifications for relevant cooling products.
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
Through a Comprehensive NDC Cooling Guide, we help countries develop a detailed methodological guidance for baseline setting, target definition, and progress tracking in the cooling sector.
