UNEP's Global Cooling Watch 2025 models cooling demand as more than tripling by 2050 under business as usual and cooling-related emissions reaching about 7.2 GtCO2e; its Sustainable Cooling Pathway lowers modeled 2050 emissions to about 2.6 GtCO2e.
What this does not establish
The 7.2 Gt and 2.6 Gt values are not forecasts or commitments.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Technology adoption, access, grids, refrigerants and climate pathways can alter results.
What would change the reading
Update with model revisions and measured appliance, refrigerant, peak-demand and access data.
