Indonesia’s National Cooling Action Plan (I-NCAP) represents a comprehensive roadmap to achieving sustainable cooling that reduces energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions, while providing services essential for both human well-being and economic development through the triple strategy of passive cooling, energy efficiency and phase down of climate warming refrigerants. It sets forth a strategic vision for a cooling sector that is resilient, inclusive and environmentally sustainable. I-NACP provides a holistic view of current and future cooling energy demand across multiple cooling sectors, including space cooling, cold chains and mobile air conditioning. It presents a comprehensive set of interventions to reduce cooling demand, provide thermal comfort and buffer against the impacts of rising temperatures and increasing frequency of extreme heat events. Its implementation could reduce electricity consumption by 57% and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by 55% in 2040, as compared to business-as-usual.
