1.1 billion people around the world face immediate risks from lack of access to cooling, says a report from Sustainable Energy for All released at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development in New York City. Cooling is crucial for a variety of often overlooked functions including safe storage of vaccines and drugs, cool office buildings in hot climates, and transportation of fish to market. The report, Chilling Prospects: Providing Sustainable Cooling for All, highlights access to cooling as an important emerging opportunity in climate adaptation innovation.
