About SEforALL This Is Cool Challenge 2023

As the planet warms, more frequent heat extremes are threatening the safety and well-being of communities across the world. Even 2 degrees of global warming by mid-century would mean 1.2x more extreme heat days compared to a 1.5 degrees scenario.

The window of opportunity for climate action is closing rapidly, and we need to invest in solutions that can accelerate both emission reductions and heat resilience.

Program Details

Effects of heat extremes are being felt across most geographies, but not equally by everyone. As more households purchase air conditioners, global electricity demand for space cooling could increase by 40 percent by 2030.

At the same time, over 1 billion people are at high risk of lacking the cooling solutions needed to protect themselves, as well as food and medicines, from heat. A further 2.2 billion lower-middle income people need options that are both sustainable and affordable.
