Cool Up’s team contributed to two impactful sessions. During the first session on “Solutions for Sustainable Cooling,” the critical role of policy frameworks in advancing the sustainable cooling transition was emphasized. Our experts highlighted Cool Up’s close collaboration with ministries in our partner countries particularly in the development of National Cooling Action Plans (NCAPs). Policy frameworks like the NCAP lay the groundwork for sustainable cooling development. The discussions focused on identifying potential opportunities to leverage the lessons learned and expected outcomes of Cool Up’s work in partner countries of the MENA region on a wider scale. The team answered questions on how Cool Up interacts with country governments in supporting policy frameworks to promote sustainable cooling. Cool Up’s second session was organized as a panel discussion on “Empowering Energy Efficiency” and delved into innovative strategies for improving energy efficiency in buildings, emphasizing the integration of renewable energy solutions and smart technologies.
