Summary

While refrigeration and air conditioning bring relief during heatwaves, the resulting direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from refrigerants and indirect emissions from energy consumption further contribute to global warming, creating the vicious cycle of cooling. This study, developed under Germany’s International Climate Initiative (IKI), introduces comprehensive scenario modelling to analyse an outlook based on diverse sustainable cooling pathways of the GHG emissions in the Middle East and North Africa region and Türkiye as basis to inform policymaking. Expert interviews were conducted with stakeholders from Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon to provide an overview of the impact of sustainable cooling policies and establish a baseline reflecting the current cooling landscape in the respective countries. The study finds that without policy interventions, each of the countries is positioned to face a significant rise in electricity consumption due to continued reliance on conventional technologies. Based on the scenarios modelling, this study provides policy recommendations.
