Annual Global Cooling Pledge Progress Report November 2024

Author(s) : UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

Under the aegis of the COP28 UAE Presidency, the Global Cooling Pledge was launched at COP28 in Dubai in December 2023 with high‑level representation and support from more than 60 countries. This Pledge, a first‑of‑its‑kind political initiative dedicated to sustainable cooling, has three primary aims: to reduce cooling‑related emissions by 68% relative to 2022 by 2050; to greatly increase access to sustainable cooling by 2030; and to increase the global average efficiency of new air conditioners by 50% through raised ambition and international cooperation.

This document is the first annual Global Cooling Pledge Progress Report, based on data collected from participating countries between August and October 2024, as well as on data collected in 2023 as part of the UNEP‑Cool Coalition Global Cooling Watch report. A questionnaire was circulated to all signatories requesting information that will help track progress. It was developed by the lead authors of the Global Cooling Watch report and approved with feedback from the Global Cooling Pledge Contact Group as well as members of the Cooling and Refrigeration Energy and Emissions Data working group (CREED), which was set up by UNEP‑Cool Coalition in conjunction with the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR).
