Cooler Finance Webinar
Wednesday, October 16, 2024
The new IFC and UNEP-led Cool Coalition joint report “Cooler Finance: Mobilizing Investment for the Developing World’s Sustainable Cooling Needs” was launched at New York Climate Week 2024 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Join them on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, for a webinar that delves into key findings of the report, including business opportunities and financing mechanisms.
This event will go deeper into the findings of the report, which shows the cooling market in developing economies is expected to grow from about $300 billion to $600 billion, or more, by 2050. The report identifies numerous private investment opportunities across different segments of the cooling market, including space cooling, refrigeration, cold chains, and transport.
Adopting sustainable cooling in developing economies could result in over $8 trillion in avoided costs by 2050 through lower electricity bills and reduced power infrastructure investments. In this webinar, learn how the report aims to support different stakeholders – including entrepreneurs, investors, businesses providing and using cooling solutions, as well as policy makers and private, public, and international financiers – in identifying the potential business opportunities that sustainable cooling offers, and design and implement business models and financing mechanisms to realize these.
