SUMMARY:ESMAP WEBINAR Sustainable cooling in off grid rural areas
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an ESMAP webinar on a critical but under-explored topic: efficient and clean cooling in rural off-grid areas\, its nexus with electricity access\, and its impact on multiple sectors\, including safety and comfort\, agriculture\, fisheries and food security\, and healthcare. \nDespite significant progress in off-grid electricity\, with solar energy systems reaching an estimated 493 million people in 2022\, approximately 306 million individuals in rural areas still facing health and productivity risks in 2023 due to lack of access to cooling that are certain to increase as global temperatures continue to rise. \nThis webinar will address the pressing need for massive-scale sustainable cooling and electricity solutions in these communities. Participants will gain insights into the current landscape\, including projects in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia\, learn key concepts related to cooling needs and opportunities in rural off-grid areas across different sectors\, and discuss actionable strategies to overcome barriers\, implement policy tools\, and expand off-grid areas. \nThe webinar will also provide key insights and high-level take-aways from the recently published ESMAP and SEforAll report: Accessing Sustainable Cooling in Off-Grid Rural Areas: The Nexus between Access to Energy and Clean Cooling.
