Promoting efficient, affordable and clean cooling for everyone (PEACCE)

Direct beneficiaries are national governments (ministries of energy, health and agriculture), city and municipal planners, civil societies, development finance actors and the private sector in the targeted countries.

Indirect beneficiaries are people, including vulnerable groups, who live in the target countries and do not have access to cooling solutions.

1. Global and national political commitment to achieve sustainable cooling for all are fostered.
2. Tailored country support to unlock investment in sustainable cooling is provided.
3. The introduction, incubation and replication of solutions for sustainable cooling is catalysed.
