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.
