1、Efficient and Sustainable:Scaling Natural Refrigerant Cooling to Combat Extreme HeatMustafa Abunofal,Cool Up Programme49The Cool Up ProgrammeGreen Cooling Summit 2025,20 21 May 2025 Our approach is based on four pillars:1.Reducing cooling demand;2.Supporting the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons(HFCs
2、);3.Replacing and safely disposing inefficient cooling appliances and refrigerants;4.Improving cooling appliance operation,training,and awareness.10 partners bring in their specific expertiseThe Cool Up programme promotes accelerated technological change in cooling demand reduction,and early impleme

4、he region is expected to grow rapidly from 35.6 million unitary AC units in 2020 to around 93 million by 20503xThe region has the opportunity to become a global leader in sustainable cooling transition through:Without action,the regions energy demand for cooling is expected to rise by 50%by 2040Chal
5、lenges and status quoOpportunities for a sustainable transitionThe transition to natural refrigerants and not-in-kind cooling technologiesEstablishing financial mechanisms that promote the transition to sustainable cooling technologies51Jordan as a case studyGreen Cooling Summit 2025,May 20-213x1.5x
6、The rising temperature impacts are directly reflected in the increased demand for cooling across Jordan which if left unchecked,could lead to an increase in emissions due to the continued use of HFC refrigerants-AC systems stock is expected to increase significantly by a factor of 3 in 2050 compared
