National Cooling Action Plans for Systemic Climate Impact

Описание: National Cooling Action Plans #NCAPs are emerging as a core policy instrument to align access, efficiency, and emissions trajectories. Well-designed plans integrate building performance, appliance standards, refrigerant transition, urban form, and energy planning within a coherent national framework. The next generation of NCAPs must move beyond isolated measures and position building energy efficiency and passive cooling as structural pillars of development and energy security.

To address these challenges in high-ambient temperature regions, a contextualised NCAP methodology for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region was developed by the UNEP Cool Coalition in partnership with the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE). Its development was made possible through financial support from the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).

This Cool Talk examined how regionally tailored NCAPs can function as implementation frameworks that expand access, manage peak demand and anchor long-term energy and climate strategies in regions most exposed to extreme heat.
