How climate friendly cooling can support clean resilient Covid 19 recovery

 

Covid-19 and the measures being taken to mitigate the subsequent public health and economic crises are creating huge global shocks. In response, governments and financial institutions are quickly developing fiscal and monetary packages that are unprecedented in scale. The World Bank, International Monetary Fund, International Energy Agency, European Commission, and others across industry, academia, and civil society are challenging governments to keep sight of the climate crisis and to use Covid-19 stimulus packages and recovery plans as an opportunity to build back better, for a cleaner, more resilient world. The Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP), a philanthropic collaboration active in over 50 countries, highlights the vital role that cooling is currently playing to help manage the health and economic shocks of Covid-19, and outlines how cooling is crucial to a resilient recovery. The briefing details six high-impact, near-term, and cost effective opportunities that can help to stimulate the economy while also building a strong foundation for long-term recovery and decarbonization.
