Our Side Event at COP29
With increasing temperatures, cooling has become essential to human health, food security, and economic productivity. However, higher levels of cooling are resulting in increased emissions, exacerbating climate change and pushing up cooling demand. Our side event will delve into this critical issue, analyse existing policy initiatives, identify gaps, and propose a comprehensive framework for addressing urban heating and cooling.
This position paper highlights the opportunities, challenges and barriers for just transition particularly in the context of Global South countries, and outlines the key considerations for suitably integrating just transition pathways into country NDCs, NAPs, and LT-LEDs to achieve the Paris Agreement goals.
